About us
Are you a people person and a bit of a people geek? Are you interested in creating high-performing organizations that are also great places to work? Do you like understanding human development? Do you like talking and learning about human-focused organizations, organisational psychology, leadership and management development and practical ways to improve our organizations and our own lives? If so, this is a group for you!
As an open and inclusive group, we welcome everyone who is striving to improve workplaces including:
- Founders, leaders and managers working in organisations,
- Professionals and practitioners working in leadership, management and organisational development, learning and development, change and all such fields,
- Academics and students interested in these and related topics.
We meet on a semi-regular basis to explore interesting topics, challenge and develop our thoughts and knowledge, gain new insights, share our enthusiasm and passion, help each other with real world challenges and to build a friendly and supportive community of like-minded people in and around Edinburgh.

The Real Teal: A New Management Paradigm?
CodeBase Ltd, 37a Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, GBWHEN & WHERE
- 18:15 | Wednesday | 29 April
- Codebase | 37 Castle Terrace | Edinburgh | EH1 2EL
ABOUT THE SESSION
For our next in-person People Peeps session, Simon Wallis will facilitate an engaging workshop designed specifically for anybody curious about how organisations can evolve beyond the traditional hierarchy.The session will think about things from the perspective of a 'people practitioner' looking to help organisations. In it we will:
- Reflect on our experiences of working in and supporting traditionally hierarchical organisations,
- Explore the "Teal" cultural paradigm and how it is different from traditional hierarchical organisations,
- Use practical, interactive exercises to bring two of Teal’s most powerful processes—the Advice Process and Granular Roles—to life.
If you’re curious about fresh ways to strengthen autonomy, clarity and human‑centred design in your organisation, this session will offer both inspiration and real‑world tools you can apply immediately.
Expect thought‑provoking and immersive group discussions plus take‑aways that challenge conventional assumptions about how people, decisions and structures can work.
Come ready to experiment, reflect, and rethink what’s possible for the future of work in your own context.
