Dave Pollard on Charles Handy. What may be needed is a "virtual Federat Ion" of independent businesspeople (Free Agent-s) and [NCEs]... So let me coin a broader term than [NCE] (New Collaborative Enterprise), called [Non Restrictive Business] ([NRB]) to refer to any organization in any form that does not contractually limit its members to working only with other members of that same organization... And once you start getting researchers, distributors, job-shop manufacturers, and marketers, you start to have the makings of the business World Of Ends in the diagram above, flexibly contracting with each other, and eliminating the big corporate (BigCo) [Middle Men] who currently skim most of the profits and make all the decisions.
