During the previous Industrial Economy we managed hands. We believe companies and managers are at an inflection point. Stephen Gill and I have been working in the area of corporate education since Moby Dick was a minnow. And your job is to make the company smarter by helping those brains grow smarter every day. You suddenly realize that your company is the collective brainpower that comes back every morning, and your job is to enable these brains to be as smart and as effective as possible because that’s your corporate IQ. It occurs to you that your company has effectively evaporated because all the brains are gone. You stand by the window watching as the last car leaves the parking lot. Everywhere brains are learning, sharing information, and providing help to other brains. Brains behind office doors floating above computers. The brains are everywhere, thinking, planning, and somehow communicating. All the bodies stayed bed this morning, and only the brains came to work. That mass of grayish wetware that makes everything possible. You’re looking around the floor of the company where you work and see … brains.
