The company of the future could be a collection of online communities: some are internal and others reach outside the organization's boundaries into one's business ecosystem; some are designed and formed outright and others just grow on their own. Thus a main job of executives and managers is to foster these communities and the collaboration they engender. A major job of CIOs is to provide the technology to support online communities and online collaboration.
Organizations are becoming information-based, and will thus be organized not like a manufacturing organization but more like a hospital, which is team based. Hospitals have specialty units, each with its own knowledge, training, and language; work in the units is done by ad hoc teams, assembled to address a patient's condition and diagnosis. Systems that contain support groups are important because most people spend 60 to 80 percent of their time working with others. Yet, people seem to feel they are most productive when they work alone.
