Most enterprises aren’t that great at managing people, let alone teams.

Why are most companies sitting on a skills and skill-building time bomb?
How are personal and cloud tools now allowing small teams to develop industrial-strength virtual work environments?
How do you envisage a future where companies use, hire and fire self-managing clusters?
