Mike Elgan on the rise of the digital nomad
I’m a big proponent of broader adoption of the Entertainment industry’s project-based approach to work: individuals with specialized skills come together around a shared idea and objective to achieve a well-defined outcome, then disband and move on to the next project.
At present, most find themselves in settings where the Industrial Age still has a surprisingly strong influence on the way they work; where they clock in at an office and work as an individual- or team-based black box, await input, churn, produce output and repeat the cycle. This is largely a result of the fundamental way businesses organize — by function, rather than by project — and will take considerable will to change.
