An EBBF point of view
What will enterprises look like in 30 years from now?
Only 10 years ago very few of us had an email account and even fewer of us had a mobile phone - sounds incredible doesn't it? Now for a real challenge we decided to go thirty years into future, exploring what scenarios may confront us and there you have a real stimulating challenge. Helped by some inspiring weather consulting on the terrazza of the beautiful Hotel La Panoramica immersed in the nature of the province of Rome a group of EBBF experts together with individuals from over 15 countries met to explore the future.
In this article we share a few of the scenarios that emerged during this - Creating the Enterprise of the Future - EBBF weekend and accompany that with no less than five absolutely innovative enterprises of the future that we imagined, complete with company structure, tools and strategies that would allow them to be successful and meaningful in thirty years from now.

Words of Wisdom
"... We can no longer simply regard work as a means of survival or to earn money to fuel an ever-expanding acquisitive economy. To be meaningful, work must be seen as an opportunity for personal growth and as a form of service to others."
George Starcher, In Search of a New Work Ethic
