Our Process
+ Our Business Model: Built to do better.
As a Teal organization, our unique business model is optimized for innovation, efficiency, and agility. By fostering each individual’s efficacy and dedication within our organization, we’re able to deliver exceptional results for our clients.
Based on the acclaimed research by Frederic Laloux, a Teal Organization has a soul, a higher ambition, and operates differently than other companies. Teal is both a cultural and methodical way of doing business.
Teal organizations are characterized by self- and group-actualization management.
Hierarchical "predict and control" functionalities do not exist in Teals, and are instead replaced by decentralized structures consisting of small teams who take responsibility for their own governance and for the way in which they interact with other organizational teams. Each team seeks, supports, and watches over the greater good.

“Already, it’s clear that we can create radically more productive, soulful, and purposeful businesses, nonprofits, schools, and hospitals. We are at an inflection point: a moment in history where it’s time to stop trying to fix the old model and instead make the leap to the next one. It will be better suited to the complexity and challenges of our times….”

Our Work Philosophy:
+ Our Business Model: Built to do better.
As a Teal organization, we work in small teams infusing each team member with agility and purpose that fosters motivation, innovation, and achievement. We have a soul, a higher ambition, and as such operate differently than other companies.
Here at Eleventh House, we oversee, manage, and act as the primary client interface, bolting support on and off as needed, and handling the operational and managerial aspects of the project so clients and contractors can focus on the work at hand: making a positive and lasting impact within our communities.
Overall, we are a mission-driven company, prioritizing the “Why” over everything else.
+ Our Partner Network: A network that works for you.
Eleventh House recruits skilled community-minded professionals who are interested in flexible work. We then align them with communities, organizations, or projects in need. EH oversees, manages, and acts as the primary client interface, bolting support on and off as needed, and handling the operational and managerial aspects of the project so that clients and contractors can focus on the work at hand.
Rather than overloading team members with tasks, they’re neither especially skilled at or interested in, our partner network allows us to micro-delegate tasks to skilled professionals who specialize in and enjoy that particular work. Ultimately, this unique optimization enables us to deliver stronger results to our clients.
“We were born into this world to work together.”

Our Fractal Growth Model:
+ Growth and Exploration
Each new partner that joins our team brings their own expertise, industry knowledge, and experience. This qualifies us for new projects and industries, allowing the firm to grow collectively with each individual that joins our organization. Furthermore, we also encourage our partners to collaborate with one another to learn and explore new skill sets within the organization. In this sense, our firm is continually growing - both internally and externally.
Here at Eleventh House, we take pride in encouraging, enabling, and equipping our team members to follow their passion and make positive contributions to their local communities.
+ Ongoing Advancement
Our decentralized business model allows us to continually expand our industry expertise, service skill set, and capacity with each new professional who joins us.
This organizational agility enables us to cultivate ongoing growth and advancement in multiple service areas at once while responding to the emerging needs we recognize for our clients and communities. This equips us to provide our clients with an expanding suite of solutions, expertise, and insights while granting our teams the ability to specialize in the work they do best.
Let’s work together!
