The future of business... Well, I think there definitely will be two different kinds of organizations. But this is worth more than a comment. Stay tuned : ) Thanks so much for these thoughts, Mark.

Yes, fundamentally necessary and an issue that cannot be avoided.

I don’t think “dipping their toes” is going to be very satisfying (the water in the pool ALWAYS feels too cold at first), but empowerment and inclusiveness ? Yes, fundamentally necessary and an issue that cannot be avoided.

Before we needed companies to create and maintain the links between resources, at the cost of heavy investment (real-estate, salaries, technological means, IP etc). Companies were (and in most cases still are) very protective in order to ensure that the investments made could be capitalised upon without being cannibalised by the competition. With all these new means at our disposal and the ability to find and share with others beyond the boundaries of the enterprise, it may be interesting to look into other ways of organising to reach the same objectives of meeting desired outcomes for customers. The 20th Century organisation could actually be a barrier to innovation because it prohibits bringing together and collaborating with best-of-class resources wherever they are or whoever they may be on as-needed basis. So rather than try to fix organisations that do not have the culture (or do not want to change this), we could be looking at how to use Enterprise 2.0 methodology to create a new dynamic - have the organisation concentrate on its core-of-core competency and expand its periphery by collaborating with best-of-class resources, be they other core-focused companies or networks of individuals. It would be a radical change in mindset, but could be interesting for innovative solutions for getting the customer job done :) Cheers, Mark Hi Thierry,
