Most of our HR and work practices are premised on the assumption of stable systems, but we are realising that is no longer the case. Some of the project-based work that I do uses learning-based accountability, where we are all responsible to help the rest of the team learn. For those who live and work on the Web, this becomes a natural way to work. The same can be said for sharing-based accountability, especially amongst bloggers and others who share online. We have learned that the more you give, the more you get back in the form of feedback and more learning opportunities.

I still believe that in another 10 - 15 years this will become the "normal" way work is done. Hr professionals and executives still have a lot of mental model changes to go through to get there, but imo they are going to have to .. might as well get on with it.
