I read an interesting article by Seth Godin in the Times about the fact that we are in an era of work-change.. no longer will the majority of us be working from an office; more an more of us will be working from home – its cheaper for all involved, less stressful, and better on the environment. And more interestingly, the important jobs will be managing “tribes” or teams of people across the globe,  or building and managing online communities. Nearly everything you used to do in your company will be outsourced to someone much cheaper somewhere else in the world. Of course the key thing that this “new way” uses is CrowdSourcing

So maybe we should be thinking about who, where and how we recruit and what we will be doing in 10 years time, and perhaps think about the skills and training we’ll need to get ourselves and our teams to adapt.
