From corporations to co-operations, old financial models and management will be massively challenged over the next decade.
The future company or the future business if you like, will be a social company because it prioritises people. I strongly believe this is already happening and Playgroup is one of 'them'. Thomas Geuken has some interesting thoughts on the social company in the article 'to be in good company'. So to take his words and make them my own I will argue that at Playgroup you are in good company, because after all we are a group of people working on tasks for the benefit of other people. We are a social company because it is a way of being together that builds on a mutual wish to shape each other in each other’s company. It's a place people are willing to invest in, in the hopes it lasts "forever". Work is no longer a question of what we do from 9 to 5, but more of a question where we’ll put our time, energy, engagement and talent, so that we can live a meaningful and happy life.
