Column Two: The future of work: an ‘apprentice’-style office?

David Kirkpatrick has written about the future of work, and the impact of entirely new organisational models. To quote: “So where are we now? It’s the revolution, he says. “Near the end of the 20th century, it became possible for the first time to exchange the detailed kind of information necessary to coordinate a business on a very large scale even as lots of individuals made decisions for themselves. When communications costs fall it becomes possible for vastly more people to be well-enough informed to make decisions instead of just following orders from their uniquely well-informed superiors.” [Fortune] [Thanks to StepTwo]
