Goals of the New Work Environment

McNurlin and Sprague cited four goals in the new work environment--(1)leverage globally, (2)organize for complexity, (3)work electronically, and (4)handle continuous and discontinuous change.

The first one deals with tapping the tacity knowledge of the workforce, nurturing the workforce with knowledge and prmoting a culture of sharing knowledge. Briefly I felt like the enterprise is wishing to go back to the university if that's the case..

Organize for complexity

The second one in my perception tells us that the enterprise move all the decisions to the consumers that made their work now a lot complex. It's like consumers now have so much freedom that the enterprise has to work well to satisfy the wants of the consumers. Do you think the consumer or the customer always know what is best for her?

Work electronically

Third, work electronically. The small workspace or spacious, private cubicle now becomes secondary concern to the internet bandwidth, the fast machine processor and the e-mail and web access restrictions/policies. The workforce nowadays cannot survive if electronically illiterate.

Continuous and Discontinuous Change

Managing change, whether for improvement or thru reengineering should be dealt objectively, and should be anticipated by the enterprise.
