This is my assumption: Things will only get faster. Within our economic and organizational envioronment, we will not cease in our race to become more effective, more efficient and more agile. This need will be driven by commercial factors, businesses less able to adapt to changing environments will be replaced. There is no option to stop or slow down. (Not as organisations, but as inidividuals, we can choose the slow way .)

This push to move faster will favour collaboration. Yes, it is competition that powers the system, but it is through co-operation that the victors will emerge. This evolution is obvious in the online world. The whole emergence of Web 2.0 is all about collaboration( but then, the very word "Inter-net" should have given that away a long time ago). The ideologies so obvious in the online world must now seep back into the old, offline world.

What is the emerging form of organization? What is the business/economic expression of Web 2.0. Peer-2-peer has burst the media industry wide open, how does it effect business in general? Peer production offers a way to achieve a level of agility never before possible. (Take a look at this Business 2.0 article.

Things are moving.
