Why do companies exist?
Who made them and why?

of our society and institutions as
companies, banks and government as
given circumstances
But:

30. These rules Were written and these
institution started
at a very specific moment
ant with a very specific
agenda in mind

67. A new innovation doesn‟t over win
by convincing opponents, and
show them the light, but because
the old generation eventually dies
and a new generation will grow up
with that innovation.
(Max Planck)

72. "The world we have created is a product
of our thinking; it cannot be changed
without changing our thinking."

Never, never, never…..
stop asking why not 

Communities replaces companies
Cooperation replaces competition
The information worker will extinct
How will the future look like ??

90. Communities replace Companies?
Utopia??.......think ahead!!!
What if the customers of Henry Ford asked
him: `Can you build us a a car…..?‟
And he had said:
`No, Can‟t do that…….. but I can build you a
quicker horse „

97. V is io n
Companies, banks and governments as
we know them now will no longer be the
center of commerce. We will work more
via communities which are more
organic and run for an by the people
From company based to
community based

98. A m b it io n
Improve productivity of
information workers 50
times before 2040.
