Changed Operating Environment
Traditionally the functions of management are centralised and performed by managers. This limits the amount of work that can be done.
The Internet has provided the opportunity for people to work together globally. However, “manager centric” approaches have been unable to provide a practical means to fully utilize the available connectivity.
Social networking has been tried, but it lacks an underlying management method and the tools to apply the method globally and consistently.

Famous quotes containing the words changed, operating and/or environment:
““You gave me the key of your heart, my love;
Then why did you make me knock?”
Oh that was yesterday, saints above!
And last night—I changed the lock!”
—John Boyle O’Reilly (1844–1890)
“Go on then in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword; shew that reformation is more practicable by operating on the mind than on the body of man.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can’t know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do—after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world’s anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
