Based on three years of research, the book Reinventing Organizations describes the emergence of a new management paradigm. In different places in the world, businesses and non profits, schools and hospitals have found radically more soulful, purposeful and powerful ways to structure and run their organizations. 

Part 1

Part I takes a sweeping evolutionary and historical view. It explains how every time humanity has shifted to a new stage of consciousness, it has also invented a radically more productive organizational model. Could we be facing today another critical juncture today? Could we be about to make such a leap again?

Part 2

Part 2 serves as a practical handbook. Using stories from real-life case examples (businesses and nonprofits, schools and hospitals), this section describes in detail how this new, soulful way to run an organization works. How are these organizations structured and how do they operate on a day-to-day basis? 

(Spoiler alert: it’s not the pyramid we know. There are no job descriptions, no targets, hardly any budgets. In their place come many new and soulful practices that create extraordinarily productive and purposeful organizations.) 

Part 3

Part 3 examines the conditions for these new organizations to thrive. What is needed to start an organization on this new model? Is it possible to transform existing organizations? And if so, how? What results can you expect at the end of the day?
Most books on organizations are written for people hoping to find the secret key to gaining market share, beating competition and increasing profits. They offer advice on how to better play the game of success within the current management paradigm. 
"Reinventing Organizations" comes from a different place. It is written as a handbook for people (founders of organizations, leaders, coaches, and advisors) who sense that something is broken in the way we run organizations today and who feel deeply that more must be possible… but wonder how to do it.

For networks engaged in societal and environmental transformation

Many networks are doing fabulous work in the field of societal and environmental transformation. If you are part of such a network and feel that its members might be interested in the ideas in this book, you can contact the author to explore the possibility of giving all members access to a free e-version of the book. 

Ashoka, the pioneering non-profit supporting the emergence of social entrepreneurs, is the first network to participate. Its 2,000 fellows will be given access to a free copy of the book. 

For organizations wanting to make the shift to a new management paradigm

If you are part of an organization that is seriously exploring ways to shift to a new management paradigm, the author is happy to discuss the possibility of giving all employees (this is a necessary condition: all employees) access to a free e-version of the book.
