The Present and Future of Work

Spend an hour watching this webcast: featuring a panel discussion with Tom Malone (MIT), Ray Ozzie (Groove), John Parkinson (CGEY), John Stenbit (DOD) and Chris Thomas (Intel).

Interesting discussions. Malone says:

I think we are now in the early stages of an increase in human freedom in business that may, in the long run, be as important to business as the transition to democracies was for governments... It's now possible for the first time in history to have the economic benefits of very large organizations - things like economies of scale - without giving up the human benefits of small ones.
