During more than 100 years of classic management, hierarchy oriented organizations have shown their limits. A new generation of enterprises is now moving its first steps towards a brand new way to organize and prosper. Liquid, collaborative, flat, responsive, adaptive and anti-fragile: these are just buzzwords as long as alibis keep hanging around. Based on our real experience, we present a workshop to involve audience while experimenting with new ways to set an organization up.
