I started a blog earlier this morning about short term thinking and how it's important to think in terms of the long view. Then I read this blog.
A Disposable Company? The Business of the Future? Anna Farmery questions our unthinking assumptions about how and why a business exists. Why don't we find a gap, create a business model that fills the gap, close the business and move on to the next gap? Kinda puts the hurts to my bias on short term thinking.
These businesses would be small, staffed by contract employees and operated under the mantra of "change is good and fast change is even better". The strategic plan would be a function of the demand of the current project. It would only work with customer interaction. Wait a minute, I think I am describing Web 3.0.
There are a million applications for this type of company. You might still specialize in direct sales or web design or as a CEO. Who knows what the business of the future might need?
Businesses established to last still need long term strategies. Fulfilling the strategy will now have to include working with companies that fill a single short term need. It's the best of both worlds.
