This document discusses the forces of change in business and outlines a vision for the future organization. It identifies rapid technology, global collaboration, social networks, and a barbell-shaped economy as driving forces of change. The future organization is described as nimble, mobile, social, global, customer-centric, knowledge-based, and collaborative at every level in order to respond to all stakeholders as a 24/7 portal for a NOW economy. Reinventing business models, radical technologies, the semantic web, and people and process innovation will be key to realizing this vision.
