Organisational Dysfunction of the Day

Becoming Teal

Context: The organisation has read Reinventing Organizations. The leadership team is excited, and a transformation programme begins. Roles replace job titles, advice processes replace approval chains, and purpose workshops are held. Some teams thrive, while others are confused. Middle managers resist, and diffusion stalls. A consultant explains that the organisation is still in Orange and needs more developmental work before it can move to Teal. The leadership team commits to more coaching, more culture work, more patience. The organisation is not becoming Teal. It is becoming better at talking about Teal.

OST explains: Frederic Laloux's Teal model is an organicist framework in Stephen Pepper's sense: it treats organisations as living systems with an inherent developmental trajectory, moving through stages toward a higher form. The metaphor is appealing because it feels alive in a way that org charts do not. But organicism has a blind spot: it locates the explanation inside the organism, in its developmental stage, its readiness. When Teal fails, the diagnosis is always the same: not ready yet, more work to do. OST offers a design principle instead of a developmental stage. DP2 does not require organisational maturity. It requires a structural decision: move responsibility for control and coordination to the people doing the work. Buurtzorg's nurses did not reach a higher stage of consciousness; Jos de Blok made a structural decision about coordination in home nursing in the Netherlands (though one confined to the operational level, since Buurtzorg's own management was never redesigned the same way, so it falls short of a complete DP2 structure too). A structural choice, unlike a stage of consciousness, can be examined and made again elsewhere. The context is not transferable. The principle is. Teal describes an organism growing toward its potential. DP2 describes an open system adapting to its field. One explanation looks inward. The other looks at the relationship between the system and where it lives.

So yes converting most of #atomique to #Teal  was a _very_ good idea. Thanks @cochise for reminding me of its existence !

All "serious" apps that use  Views now use it. You can still build Games/Demos using plain Lua if you want to with the usual _init() / _update() _draw() model.

If you don't know already:
"Teal is a statically-typed dialect of Lua. It extends Lua with type annotations, allowing you to specify arrays, maps and records, as well as interfaces, union types and generics. "

And in case you missed that fact LuaJIT makes Lua astonishingly fast.  Combining LuaJIT + Teal is a great combination. Each app in its own little VM, but fast.

So Google identified this as a mating pair of Cinnamon Teals. And there I was thinking it's a duck. Happy Friday, everyone #teal #duck #nisqually #seattle #photography #photo #friday #wildlife #nature

Lua has many dialects, and I love them all ❤️
But how to write one lua-file and target them all?
Answer: metaprogramming

Here's a small ~700 bytes gpp-ish metaprogramming awk script 🎉

# Democracy by the people, for the people — not politics as usual
---
## The Problem We Can't Ignore

Australian democracy faces a crisis of legitimacy. Trust in politicians sits at historic lows. Permanent campaigning rewards short-term thinking. Major parties remain captured by vested interests. And everyday Australians—the people who live with the consequences—are sidelined from decisions about their future.
