Panel 1:

• Dilbert is standing at a whiteboard, explaining the concept of holacracy to his coworkers.
• He says, "Now that we're organized as a holacracy, I need to learn how to look busy like the rest of you."

Panel 2:

• Dilbert says, "Try walking into people's cubicles without an invitation and babbling about things they don't care about."

Panel 3:

• Wally is looking at him with a mixture of confusion and annoyance.
