“Imagination starts with individuals but flowers in groups,and it needs the power of an organisation to bring it toits full potential”

Charles Handy

Peoplism:

An economic state where individuals own and controlthe most important factor of production: their humanability

Peoplism:

Imagination is the means of production

owned by the workers not the business owner (capitalist)

Balance of power has shifted to the worker

hired by the business owner in a wage-effort exchange

Disorganisation:

A future arrangement of the workforce

People want to enjoy the benefits of large organisationsWhile retaining the advantages of small ones

Rather than in their formal leadership structure or their legal constitution, future templates for organisations will emerge from the cumulative interactions of their workers with the formal elements of their structure andoperation. The logic of disorganisation could create newcombinations of flexibility and reliability, of human scalecontact combined with widespread reach andaccessibility.
