hi Rajeev

In fact, taking the trends of how organizations develop, maybe it
won't take long for organizations to not even attempt at being 'long-
life' entities.

Maybe, just maybe (hear me out, all ye, before you rain brickbats on
me ;-))!) organizations should eventually become that ultimate
knowledge organization - A movie unit !

Ok...so what do I mean by that...?

Well, essentially that a movie unit is driven by both a creative and
a commercial compulsion. It is initiated by a group to maximise RoI,
taps into the skills of several talented individuals, brings out a
product, and then disbands...

While it may be fearful to think of ourselves as technicians in a
film crew, I wonder if the current business climate will not see us
land at that eventuality in 10 years (considering also the fact that
salaried people get taxed much heavily than freelance professionals-
maybe the government is a party to that !)

Of course, then organizations will no longer extend for a half-life
of more than a couple of years (radioactive metaphor not
intentional ;-)

the pros and cons:

1. differentiating work/life will be diffucult
2. Each one for him/herself would be the norm
3. In-demand skill sets would change from project to project
4. The superstars would command huge hefty salaries
5. The rest of us would have to live hand-to-mouth existences ..while
trying to be a superstar or coming to terms with our inability!
6. The 'producer' would continue raking in the moolah with continuing
IP sales beyond the life of the organization

Scary?
very !

Far-fetched?
I hope so...!

your thoughts?

warm regards,
Gautam
