Breathing Life Into Organizations: How to bring new ways of working and managing organizations not only as machines but as living entities

Bringing organizations to life

"I hope that this book will meet all those, more and more, who aspire to organizations full of life and meaning!

Fr嶮廨ic Laloux, author of Reinventing Organizations

At the heart of any company, of any organization, there is an astonishing and untapped reserve of efficiency just waiting to be expressed.

This potential for vitality is located in the depth of people, teams and organizations: where the aspirations and the brakes, fear and trust, beliefs and feelings, the meaning. It is from this inner reality that the failures or lasting successes of projects, approaches and organizations come from.

And yet, in more than 20 years of support for multiple organizations of all sizes and in all sectors, both public and private, the authors have witnessed that it is most often outside that solutions are sought: actions, processes, controls, behaviors.

Jacques and Christophe have decided to share all the tools, principles, analysis grids that they have structured over the years - the TOSCANE WAY - in order to create the conditions for the dynamism of life of people and the collective to spring up.

Their experiences make it all simple and accessible.

But, make no mistake about the notion of tools ! Because, at the end of the tool, there is an arm and behind the arm, there is a heart and a spirit.

This book speaks to our intelligence which needs to understand, to our heart which needs to feel and to our deep being which needs to live and act with meaning and values.

Thus, the authors hope to help us transform our mechanistic systems into living organizations for full of aliveness human beings on a living planet.
