The optimism of possibility is a wonderful turn of phrase. Wondering if we can accelerate this whole process.. but that's another conversation, no doubt. Thank you John.

I think we need to draw a distinction between how we act on behalf of brands/clients versus how we operate as a business, but that line blurs daily, clearly. Good watchout.

I think you're right on. My sense is that large organizations will get a lot smaller and new, hybrid organizations will emerge. But, that's what has always happened. Old, tired things die, new ways of working emerge. What I love is the optimism of possibility. Good stuff, Mel. I think you’re right on.

I wish this were communism-gone-good, but it's not. I do think there's a role for a company (see Pats' comment below and my response), but yes, I agree, I am less convinced that 150 is the magic number.

I see it as a whole company dispersed into the field in a very real sense. Definitely not just a single, small group separated. Otherwise the impact just isn't there - think lots of nimble groups out scouting for opportunities (when speed & agility are *the* competitive advantages etc) - Does that help? Good question.
