It is amazing to see how many large-scale companies are struggling with those issues - just today I was talking to a fairly senior person at a major financial institution who told me that the biggest barrier to adoption of Enterprise 2.0 tools in his company is the threat of a flatter organization through the use of those tools. Mind boggling. The transition and figuring out what's next sounds really exciting. Good luck with your new endeavors.

As I told you when we saw each other in San Francisco a few weeks ago, "these days, my office is wherever I happen to be". This "placeless work" phenomenon is a challenge to organization regardless of their discipline and execution in developing and maintaining a high-performance culture. My kids are so much better at the new fluidity than I am! I'll wish you the best of luck knowing that you're not particularly in need of it. I know you'll do great things wherever the journey leads.
