I stumbled on the enclosed picture and I found it was a great way to illustrate the tremendous change from the Industrial Age to the Collaborative Age.
Where life employment could be a reasonable assumption, the average lifespan of companies today requires us to rethink that perception completely.
And this represents the average lifespan of the larger companies, not considering even smaller companies that are generally less stable over time.
Our own lives transcend the life of temporary organizations. Organizations become more and more transient organizations built around a project. They are rarely developing into a sustainable organization of its own, and are often acquired by other businesses.
The time of companies’ instability has come. Are you prepared?
