| Industrial age processes focused on structured work. But the Industrial Economy is finally running out of gas, giving way to a new age where knowledge contained in the brains of everyone can be interconnected. People can now collaborate like never before and this has profound implications for every process. In fact, web is changing the deep structures and architecture of the corporation and how we innovate, create goods and services and engage with the world. Talent can be inside but also outside.
In fact, we need to rethink and rebuild many of the organizations and institutions that have served us well for decades, even centuries, but are no longer able. Evidence is mounting that traditional economic and social pillars of the industrial age have come to the end of their life cycle. How must our institutions change for a new century, new media, new generation and a new economy? How does knowledge work and collaboration the business process? How can find companies find the leadership for this rethinking of their modus operandi? |
