These folks have dropped the unuseful theoretical and methodological baggage many of us have accumulated in our journeys. The seem to have kept the useful stuff and built tools and methods fit for the future we are facing.

"BoundaryLess wants to reduce the barriers to entry for any constituent to build organizations and business models fit for the 21st Century. We do it by creating frameworks based on our direct advisory and first-hand organizational and business model development experience, by partnering with pioneers and leaders and by interacting with our ever-growing community of adopters. Every time we achieve new developments in our theory and practice we bring these back to our community by releasing them with a permissive Creative Commons license."

I plan to take their Master Class, after this summer.

Emanuele and his company BoundaryLess work with Xang Ruimin and the Haier Group. See below.

They have become conversant with the Rendanheyi management model, where every employee is directly connected to their customers.

Zhang Ruimin (Chinese: 张瑞敏; born 5 January 1949) is the founder of Haier Group. In 1998, Zhang Ruimin spoke at Harvard University, becoming the first Chinese business leader to appear on the Harvard podium. He has received management attention and praise at home and abroad for his continuous management model innovations.[4] He created the Rendanheyi model – which encompasses management thinking and models with Chinese characteristics for universal application. Gary Hamel described him as "a CEO representative of the Internet era".

This reminds me of the Cluetrain Manifesto. wikipedia

The Cluetrain Manifesto has been credited with setting out "the guiding principles of social media years before Facebook and Twitter existed." It is also considered a foundational text in the field of conversational marketing; Advertising Age proclaimed in 2006: "the grand vision outlined in 1999's 'Cluetrain Manifesto' is now coming true. Consumers have control, markets are conversations and marketing is evolving into a two-way discipline."
