Zarkawi (sorry 'bout the spelling) is dead. I heard a commentator point out the window of opportunity afforded by the fact that, being a maniacle psychopath, he didn't have a succesion plan.
I'd just like to point out that if it was only the maniacs that didn't have succession plans in place, I wouldn't have a section for it on my website.
Way to get it right, guys; a window of opportunity, indeed. Let's (and everyone reporting on this is pretty much saying the same thing) just point out that the terrorist network of AQ runs paperless, with virtual teams running their own business plans meeting the overarching goals of the organization. They have employee engagement that any Fortune company would envy, and they don't have a lot of overhead associated with Capital (buildings, health plan). They are also pretty good at human captial and knowledge management.
Freaky.
Do you think that the terrorist cell business model is going to take off? Possible, I guess. Talk about flexible! That business model can turn on a dime, I'll bet. And you really can work anywhere. The internet is a crazy place.
Did I mention that I work at home? I do! I literally occupy a corner of my house. It's all inside the box. When I worked for a large telecom company, I was told I had to have a paperless office, and I was able to reduce my binders to only about 20. Mostly because we weren't shown how to find information online.
For future reference: if you want someone to get rid of a practice (how to do something the Bell Canada way), then show them how to access that very information on line. Don't tell them to ditch the book(s), then postpone the delivery of the systems that have the info. If you ever try it again, you'll just get the 'oh, yeah, whatever; I'm keeping my friggin' books, eh?'
It's all about the trust.
So: cellular organizational model. I wonder if that exists. I'll have to ask David. He's currenty in France, interviewing people and drinking Belgian beer and wonderful wine. Lucky bastard. Knowledge work has such rich potential for enriching one's lifestyle. But rest assured, it's not about the money so much.
That's ok: I really wouldn't want too much money. Just a cushey life.
