The Connection Quotient

Marco Buschman

In this world, interconnectivity is in crisis. Functionality and financial rewards guide our working relations and are affecting our ability to relate to others and ourselves. The human perspective seems to be lost, leading to divided and less productive teams and organizations. The Connection Quotient enables an honest, courageous and humane interconnection to form, while still focusing on financial outcomes and results. The CQ enables us to illuminate our human qualities and use these to connect with others, discuss differences, expand insight and encourage the development of new ideas. The CQ will introduce a new workplace culture where organizations and teams can approach the personal and professional through a more transparent and inclusive style. Ultimately, the CQ makes it possible to play "hard on the ball, and soft on the individual".

Teal Dots In An Orange World

Erik Korsvik Østergaard Lid Publishing

In the last century, changes in technology have driven massive developments in the social economy. The Fourth Industrial Revolution demands new approaches to organizational structures and teams. A paradigm shift is emerging, putting engagement, relations, inclusion and freedom at the centre. We need small self-managed teams, in a team-of-teams structure to be relevant to employees and customers, and in order to adapt to a changing world. In his second book, Erik Korsvik Østergaard draws on the workings of Frederic Laloux, and his 2014 title Reiventing Organisations. Laloux discusses the five organizational stages to the modern workforce; the Red, Amber, Orange, Green and Teal stages. And with these writings, Østergaard presents arguments towards how the classical corporate structure at the Orange stage, has experienced a rise in teal dots, or rather, neo-modernist forms of team-oriented organisms, which express a reorganisation for the future workforce.
