Orange organisation

Orange organisations represent the progress made during the scientific and industrial revolution. The world is seen as a complex machine which functions and laws of nature can be studied and understood.

This worldview has profoundly transformed humanity over the last two centuries, bringing about unprecedented levels of prosperity and staggering life expectancy statistics.

In orange organisations, management thinking is focused on competition, innovation and performance, which shape how orange organisations operate. Leadership is changing from command and control to prediction and control (management by objectives).

An organisation as a machine is the dominant metaphor for the Orange worldview. Presently, most large companies operate from this paradigm.
