Since the “Bonheur au Travail (French)” (Workplace Happiness) report was broadcast by ARTE, the “teal organization” (referring to Frédéric Laloux’s book Reinventing Organizations) phenomenon appears to have become all the rage. Chronoflex, Poult, IMA Tech, FAVI, Harley Davidson, Lippi, Michelin, KIABI, WL Gore, Auchan, etc. are all mentioned as being “teal organizations”, a term that is sometimes mistakenly confused with “Holacracy”, a new managerial technology implemented at Zappos, Scarabée Biocoop, talkSpirit...

In November 2014, Scarabée Biocoop, a cooperative of four (4) stores, three (3) restaurants and one (1) delicatessen trade, decided to experiment Holacracy, a new managerial technology, with iGi Partners during two days: Taster and Discovery Days. This 31-years-old cooperative is well known in the french west coast for its engagement, its values, its culture and its continious innovation. Scarabée was recently awarded the prize “Sustainable Developement” for “Ille et Vilaine” area.
