“The real focus during the next decade or so needs to be on rethinking our management models—how we
hire, promote, identify leaders, allocate resources, plan, and set direction. We're going to have to look for
some new principles because the old principles that are very deeply baked into our organization—principles
of standardization, specialization, formal hierarchy, unitary command, the use of extrinsic rewards, and so
on—were good principles, but they're all in service of one overarching ideology, which is the ideology of
control.
I think we need an ideological revolution in business. The ideology for the last 100 years has been
"controlism," and the tangible form of that ideology was bureaucracy. As we move from the industrial
economy through the service economy to the knowledge economy, and now the creative economy, the
relative value of control as a source of competitive advantage is going down.”

Imagining and creating better work

a new social business model

through alternative working practices
to leading for the future;
and everything in between…

What do we mean by an i-Practice?
● Not a load of associates coming together around a consultancy - that's merely a
capacity model where someone bids for work; gets it and needs people (they can
rely on) to deliver it and the house ALWAYS takes half.
● An i-practice is a new socialised organisational structure. A band of selfies,
dabblers, students, carers and entrepreneurs. An uncompany. Where i=
independent; interconnected; innovative; interactive; indeterminable; infinite...
● As an i-practice, we share with each other not just work we've got but learning
we've done; social capital and networking we have; ideas for the future and a
general course of direction.
● We can prove that this kind of activity can be done wherever you are; and it can
work BECAUSE you don't work for the same company. Delivery in this model can
be proven to be as - if not more - effective than other models.
● There are scaleable elements - we can assemble larger teams dependent on the
scale of the project.
● It's a "No Fixed Abode Collection of Hackers, Disruptors and Challengers" not
driven by profit but by creating better work - #FFS (Fun; Freedom; Social).
