Session #29 - Teal organizations: evolution from hierarchy or utopia?
*“In a forest, there is no master tree that plans and dictates change when rain fails to fall or when the spring comes early. The whole ecosystem reacts creatively, in the moment.”*
*―* **Frederic Laloux**, Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness
**(Session in english!)**
Frederic Laloux is a former management consultant and organizational theorist best known for the book **Reinventing Organizations**, where he argues that human organizations evolve alongside human consciousness.
Drawing from developmental psychology, systems thinking, and real-world case studies, Laloux proposes that many modern companies still operate with industrial-age assumptions centered on hierarchy, control, and bureaucracy, even though the nature of work and society has fundamentally changed. His work became influential among some founders, innovators, and organizational reformers searching for alternatives to rigid corporate structures.
At the center of Laloux’s vision is the idea of “Teal organizations”: companies built around self-management, personal wholeness, and evolutionary purpose rather than traditional command-and-control leadership. Influenced by thinkers such as **Ken Wilber**, Laloux presents organizations not as machines to optimize, but as living systems capable of adaptation and emergence.
His ideas are both inspiring and controversial, praised as a blueprint for post-industrial collaboration and criticized as overly idealistic, difficult to scale, and even utopian.
**Introduction of guests (15 minutes)**
We start with a short introduction of the topic and of the guests
1. What kind of organizations have you been a member of?
2. Was there anything in common in the way they operated?
**Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)**
1. What sense does it make to categorize organizations into consciousness levels?
2. When it comes to organizations, should efficiency or harmonious functioning be the primary goal?
3. Is personal fulfillment a good foundational goal and guiding principle for an organization?
4. Can dynamically distributed authority function in the long run?
5. How solid a foundation for success is the self-organization of roles based on earned authority and trust?
6. Alongside self-organization (i.e., without overarching control), can it be guaranteed that every necessary role will have a sufficient number of competent members?
7. Is full transparency in finances and decision-making sustainable?
8. Is trust-based delegation necessarily better than competence-based delegation?
9. Is it not dangerous to optimize for pleasantness when one may have to face serious competitors?
10. Can the claim really be true that the propaganda proclaims: "the question is not whether you are good enough"?
11. Can actual quality of life be measured through feedback about how a person feels? How reliable a reflection for one's quality of life is one's sense of happiness?
12. Is it sufficient to weight the evaluation of an idea based on the degree of involvement of the voters?
13. Can a parliament whose members are selected based on popularity rather than competence truly be competent
14. Can a community feedback-based competence assessment be as good as an objective test-based one?
15. Does it make sense to speak collectively about the fulfillment of the people?
16. If people make decisions by relying on results provided by AI, are those decisions truly their own?
17. If a country was to transition to the Teal model today, how could it enforce its laws?
18. Was the Zappos example more of a good initiative or a bad one?

Felhő európai szabályok szerint: AWS Sovereign Cloud
**Felhő európai szabályok szerint: AWS Sovereign Cloud** / **Cloud on European Terms: AWS Sovereign Cloud**
🇬🇧 English version below 👇
***
**Adat. Szabályozás. Kontroll.**
Három kulcsszó, amelyek ma már nem csak technológiai kérdések — hanem üzleti döntések, versenyelőnyök és kockázatok forrásai.
Hol vannak valójában az adataid?
Ki gyakorol felettük kontrollt?
És mennyire vagy felkészülve a folyamatosan szigorodó európai szabályozási környezetre?
Csatlakozz az **AWS User Group Budapest** vezetői fókuszú, exkluzív meetupjára, ahol bemutatjuk az **AWS European Sovereign Cloud** koncepcióját és valódi jelentőségét. Megmutatjuk, hogyan teremthet egyensúlyt a felhő skálázhatósága, az adat-szuverenitás és a működési autonómia között —üzleti, nem technológiai szemszögből.
Ez az esemény azoknak a döntéshozóknak szól, akik nem csak reagálni akarnak a szabályozásra, hanem stratégiai előnyt kovácsolnának belőle!
Keynote előadónk **Markus Ostertag**, az európai felhőszabályozás és digitális szuverenitás egyik legismertebb szakértője.
Mellette felhőbiztonsági, jogi és architektúra‑szakértőkből álló kerekasztal beszélgetés keretében járjuk körül , hogy milyen valós üzleti és működési következményekkel jár az európai szabályozás alá tartozó vállalatok számára az AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Az este zárásaként Dr. Pejó Balázs veszi át a szót, és tömör előadásában bemutatja, milyen modern technológiák segíthetnek abban, hogy a vállalatok érzékeny adatokat használjanak elemzéshez vagy mesterséges intelligenciához úgy, hogy közben csökkentik az adatszivárgás és az egyének visszaazonosításának kockázatát.

Mit kezdjünk a rádióhullámokkal? (Nem wifihackelés lesz)
A terület egyszerre szól elektronikáról, rádiófrekvenciás technikáról, antennákról, analóg és digitális kommunikációról és kísérletezésről – ezért sok ponton kapcsolódik az etikus hackelés világához is.
Az előadásban szó lesz a vezeték nélküli kommunikáció alapjairól: modulációkról, protokollokról, digitális módokról, elérhető ingyenes szoftverekről, valamint arról, hogyan is vágjunk bele a rádiózásba és egy RF szignál azonosításába.
Mindezt olcsón beszerezhető eszközök használatával.
Az előadás végére remélhetőleg felismerésre kerül, hogy a rádiózás etikus hacker szemmel kiváló terep RF-biztonsági kutatásokhoz, SDR-es elemzésekhez és legális, kontrollált kísérletezéshez.
Az előadásra hozunk egy csomó RF-fel működő kütyüt, ha van otthon elfekvőben régi kocsikulcs, távnyitó, elemes távirányítható játék, Flipper Zero vagy hasonló, hozd el és nézzük meg, mit tudunk kezdeni velük.
ProductTank Meetup
We’re excited to host our next Product Meetup, co-organised by Wise & Startup Hungary. We have three insightful sessions lined up for you:
**PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For - András Lebó (Product Manager at Wise)**
Data scientists can build anything themselves. That's what makes them the hardest users to build a platform for. They have notebooks, custom pipelines, workarounds that work. Why would they switch?
András will share his learnings on PM-ing a data science platform: finding the real bottlenecks, earning trust from users who could out-engineer your solution, and measuring success when your contribution hides behind another team's objective.
**Building the Engine Behind the Product - Balázs Dósa (Product Manager at Wise)**
Ever wonder what happens when a fintech serving 19M+ customers decides to bet big on internal platforms?
Join us as we pull back the curtain on:
* The Why — What made Wise go all-in on internal platforms
* The Hard Parts — The real challenges no one warns you about
* The Payoff — What success actually looks like (and how we measure it)
Whether you're building platforms, considering the investment, or just platform-curious — this one's for you.
**Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers - István Szabó (Product Manager at SAP Emarsys)**
"Can we ship this table tomorrow?" Sometimes the most important product work is knowing what NOT to ship. Learn how one PM used AI tools to independently investigate a production data issue—tracing through two codebases, validating 82,000+ records across multiple customers, and delivering an evidence-based decision in half a day instead of one week. We'll walk through the real investigation, and show you a repeatable "Build to Learn" practice you can start using next week to tackle PM work that was previously impossible.
## Schedule:
* 18:00-18:30 - Arrival + Intro
* 18:30-19:00 - PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For
* 19:00-19:30 - Building the Engine Behind the Product
* 19:30-20:00 - Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers
* 20:00-21:30 - Drinks, Pizza, Networking 🍕
Agile Coach Camp 2026

I’ll bring a few discussion prompts, but everyone’s thoughts are welcome. Whether you loved the book, found it heavily debatable, or didn’t quite manage to finish — you’re invited.

New Rules for Your Business: What's Coming For Entrepreneurs
**The 2026 elections are over.** The dust is settling. And 2027’s new "EU Inc." company model is staring us down.
When big structural changes happen, it is completely normal to put them on the back burner. You have a business to run.
But the upcoming shifts in Hungary and the EU might actually change how you operate. We are heading to KLUSTER to figure out exactly how this affects us, without the panic or the guesswork.
We are splitting the night in two.
First, Bence Gajdácsi (CEO of Gajdácsi Flakon Kft.) tackles the macro reality of Hungary's post-election landscape and the new EU Inc. He will break down what these legal shifts mean for your business structure so you can adapt before the rest of the market even catches on.
Second, Nándor Fehér (Content Marketing Specialist) reveals the steps of building a predictable client acquisition machine with no technical skills. Even if you genuinely hate marketing, you will leave knowing how to spot the psychological hooks others and your competitors use.
**The Agenda & What You'll Learn**
* **17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect.
* **18:10 – 18:15:** Event Kickoff.
* **18:15 – 18:35: Hungary's shift & a new EU structure**
* Bence breaks down two major shifts: Hungary’s new reality under a new government, and an early peek at the 2027 EU Inc. This new European company structure aims to cut bureaucracy and accelerate cross-border growth. You get an honest look at how to position your business for both.
* **18:35 – 18:55: Automating Client Acquisition**
* Imagine a vending machine that turns a €1 coin into a €2 coin. How many times would you use it? Nándor will show you how to build that exact machine. In marketing and sales, this is called a 'funnel', a simple sequence of steps that naturally guides a complete stranger to buying your offer. You will learn to spot competitor patterns and walk away with a clear idea of which exact system actually makes sense for your own business.
* **18:55 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks.
* **20:00 onwards:** We head to a nearby bar as usual.
**Location**
We'll be hosting at the fantastic **KLUSTER Coworking** space.
**Who Is This For?**
This series of presentations is for freelancers, founders, and open-minded people in Budapest. As you might know, the presentations are really just an excuse to get us all in the same room. Join real conversations with a real community of curious people who are navigating the exact same challenges you are.
**The Legal Bit**
As usual, we’ll be taking photos and videos throughout the night. By showing up, you consent to being in them.
Thanks for reading, see you on the 29th (of May)!

#9 Female Networking over coffee ☕ Connection Circle May Edition | Barcelona
*Most online networking feels like a muted webinar. Most digital hangouts feel like chaotic small talk. We are here to do the opposite!*
🎟️ REGISTRATION
To protect the intimacy and quality of our circle, seats are strictly limited.
**STEP 1:** RSVP on MeetUp
**STEP 2:** [Get your ticket](https://luma.com/vw9wrj9o)
💜 ABOUT US
The **Women’s Coffee Network** is an international female community for local and expat professionals, offering a non-traditional experience where you don't have to fight for your voice, perfect an elevator pitch, or navigate a room of strangers alone.
Working with the precision of a designer and the empathy of a coach, we’ve built this soft sanctuary where we skip the superficial small talk and the rigid structures to build genuine, meaningful relationships through shared wisdom and collective growth.
🎀 WHO IS THIS FOR?
☕︎ It's a **female-only community** because we have our unique way to express ourselves, struggles in the business world, and jokes only other women can understand.
☕︎ If the idea of a meetup with 50 people makes you want to stay home, this circle is for you! We gather in **small, intimate groups** — to meet enough new people to have a deep conversation, but not so many that you feel anxious or overwhelmed.
☕︎ Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom.
☕︎ Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
* A **guided start** where every woman is seen and heard. You introduce yourself saying whatever you feel like sharing in a way that is comfortable to you.
* We use our **custom-designed materials** to move past titles and discover the humans behind the roles.
* A **verified circle** of women where you can be professionally ambitious and personally vulnerable at the same time.
* Leave with **full batteries**, meaningful new professional bridges, and the support of women who truly *get it*.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
