On the evening of Thursday February 16, I presented a one hour workshop to the Urban Mission Network of the Uniting Church at their invitation, introducing an awareness of the work of Frederic Laloux. (above right).

Frederic Laloux, author of Reinventing Organisations, has recently produced some research about the way we humans have organised ourselves to meet collective needs throughout history. Laloux uncovers an emerging ‘Next-Stage’ organisational paradigm for our time. He calls it soulful organisation.

I believe an understanding of his work is critical to the effective functioning of human institutions today.

The organisation-for-wellness handout summarises the content of the workshop I presented and points to some further resources for consideration and discussion.
