“We may end up with a future in which a fraction of the workforce will do a portfolio of things to generate an income—you could be an Uber driver, an Instacart shopper, an Airbnb host and a TaskRabbit.”

My sense is that successful organizations will increasingly shift from hierarchical structures to more networked and collaborative models.
