More on the organizational model...

When Gianni was born, we had a little party for her and at the party, we had a number of "activity stations."

These included coloring for the kids, making a blanket for homeless shelters, making cards, and Sunshine kits.

We recruited volunteers to staff the stations and gave them specific guidelines and timeframes for helping our guests in completing their tasks.

Then, we left them alone.

The NFO gave them the supplies/tools that they needed and the "station managers" were ultimately empowered to facilitate the experience of the guests...and, in many cases, they improvised as they did.

So, I'm wondering if that can be the model for an organization going forward?

Maybe, through the power of technical/social networking, we're really headed towards a Free Agent Nation?
