Purpose

In a Teal organization, change isn't managed from the top down—it emerges from sensing and responding to what's needed. Change management is about creating conditions for healthy adaptation, supporting members through transitions, and maintaining wholeness as we evolve.

Core Principles

Change is constant - Teal organizations are always evolving

Emergent over planned - Change arises from distributed sensing, not top-down mandates

Participatory - Those affected by change help shape it

Experimental - Try things, learn, adjust

Wholeness through transition - Support people, not just implement processes

Purpose-guided - Changes serve our evolving purpose

• Adjusting how meetings work

How they happen:
