The Future Organization is a Porous Organization

Months ago, I wrote an article here about the platform being a porous organisation that could also hosts similar sub-orgs. Found an article today, which may help with understanding Curie's current transformation.

Basically a porous organisation that maximises a kind of creator / curator culture. Looking at the current protoype, Curie seems like it will be able to accommodate both diligent "post-hunters" and casual "eureka-finders" with its mix of Curation Score and Approval Rating.

So did Curie evolved by design, or by the insights / emergent qualities gained from experiencing / running a guild on the STEEM blockchain? No idea, but porous organizations might be the best kind of arrangement to evolve over time. Contributory walk-in, walk-out culture - well, that's just part of my persistence on the future of work. Imagine if there are thousands of these porous organizations, in which people are free to participate in good chunks of them for their own best interests at any moment in time.

Below are the highlights taken from: http://markbritz.com/the-future-organization-is-a-porous-organization/ (Thanks for the post title too)

Trust is the bedrock of collaborative and cooperative work which quite frankly is the future of work (well, work that won’t be automated anyway). Today we know trust is developed over a long period of time and even then it’s with a select and small subset of people in an organization.

I think one practice organizations can take to build organization-wide trust is to support and encourage Working Out Loud (WOL). If work is done in the open (not just status updates and summary posts) in collaborative spaces and with opportunities for critique and contribution from all levels, it creates an environment for honestly, altruism and transparency.

Talent can now be found anywhere, investing heavily in inane engagement activities to retain talent makes little sense. For organizations the smarter move is to put greater emphasis again on capturing the inertia of the pass-through employee, in other words their residue. Organizations now need to focus more on creating an ecosystem suited for capturing and tagging contributions in a form that they can easily be discovered, used and built upon. This is the grease that lubricates the perpetual motion needs of today’s organizations.
