'It seems to me that we are witnessing a profound shift in thinking about how companies should be organized and managed. It would be easy to trivialize this movement by attributing the change to stereotypical Millenials who want work to be fun and want to have a voice in decisions from the moment they are hired. But that would not explain what seems to actually be happening.

'Mobile learning is a regular occurrence today, used by both educational and corporate sectors.

For a number of years I was always in airports traveling to the client site, and inevitably there would be departure delays.
