If you liked our 7 movements to understand the future of work post, you’ll enjoy this one.
In our original post we talked about people-centric management and 7 movements that illustrate where work is headed.
But that was just the beginning.
There are several groups of people that are experimenting with new work environments, allowing for humans to flourish and thrive.
In this post, we’ll summarize 7 additional movements helping change how work works.

- Purpose and Vision
- Transparency
- Dialogue + Listening

Theory U
Theory U is most widely known as the basis for the u.Lab edX course taught by MIT professor Otto Scharmer. Theory U proposes that the quality of the results that we create in any kind of social system is a function of the quality of awareness, attention, or consciousness that the participants in the system operate from. By journeying through the “U,” here are the seven essential leadership capacities to be developed:
- Holding the space: Listen to what life calls you to do.
- Observing: Pay attention with your mind wide open.
- Sensing: Connect with your heart.
- Presencing: Connect to the deepest source of yourself and will.
- Crystallizing: Access the power of intention.
- Prototyping: Integrating head, heart, and hand — don’t let paralysis get the best of you — act!
- Performing: having an ecosystem view, instead of an ego-centered view.

Management Innovation eXchange (MIX)
MIX is an open innovation project aimed at reinventing management for the 21st century. As we know, current management practices emphasize control, discipline, and efficiency above all else. To thrive in the 21st century, as we also know, organizations must be adaptable, innovative, inspiring, and socially accountable. The platform has a purpose to serve as a laboratory for new ideas, experiments, and passions around management innovation.
Gary Hamel, author of many best selling management books has been one of the strongest contributors to this initiative.
Several people-centric companies as Morning Star and Vagas have been featured on the platform through case studies and interviews, sharing great insights and practices about self-management, horizontal hierarchies, and new ways of working.

Management 3.0 / Happy Melly
Found in 2010 by Jurgen Appelo, Management 3.0 is a movement of innovation, leadership, and management. It’s about working together to find the most efficient way for a business to achieve its goals while maintaining the happiness of workers as a priority. Management 3.0 brings together thousands of project managers, mid-level managers, CEOs and entrepreneurs, and has them develop solutions together, using games to encourage employee feedback and team collaboration.
Also started by Appelo, Happy Melly is a professional network of businesses and individuals dedicated to helping people become happier at work. Happy Melly members believe that happiness is the future of work and that we can make a living while not losing out on life.
