Provocative prediction?
-
One of the provocative predictions[^] for 2007:
"Build it right: Structure the workplace to maximize the potential of the youth authorities. Net-geners function better in a decentralized, independent, collaborative and innovative work environment. Traditional hierarchies need to give way to models of work where expertise is specialized and authority distributed. However, this doesn't mean they don't need or want to be managed. Instead, they seek work experiences that value their contributions, provide clear expectations and feedback, and above all provide them with supervisors who mentor and guide them."
-- Don Tapscott, president, and Mike Dover, vice president, syndicated research, New Paradigm, Toronto
Err.. where's the prediction in that again? Here's a lesson for all wannabe presidents and vice presidents: learn the art of saying a whole lot of things that are either blindingly obvious (like build it right) and/or completely worthless while being as verbose[^] about it as is humanly possible and you should have a really really easy way up the corporate ladder!

What do you expect from a company called New Paradigm. Where's the "stick my finger down my throat" emoticon?

Moo. Most people are happy with getting told what to do by incompetent bosses they can complain about. And if someone finds a way how these people can make software, we are out of business faster than you can say "Moo".

C'mon, I'm just a simple software developer... To me that "prediction" means nothing. I'm not even sure that IS a prediction, it looks more like cheaptalk ("Geblaat" I would say in dutch).
