A suggestive panel discussion on *Technology and the modern corporation: how different will it become* is covered in Robert Patterson’s weblog. Leaders from several industries discuss changing organizational patterns. 

> Malone: I have a slogan for that. We need to change our thinking from “command and control” to “coordinate and cultivate.” Command and control won’t go away completely. But there’ll be a lot more times than in the past when being very decentralized, very bottom-up, and very empowered will be the right thing. \[[Robert Paterson’s Weblog: The New Org Model is here](https://smartpei.typepad.com/robert%5Fpatersons%5Fweblog/2004/07/the%5Fnew%5Forg%5Fmod.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]

Spotted on [Jonathan Schwartz’s](https://blogs.sun.com/jonathan?ref=lorcandempsey.net) weblog. The discussion also includes the word *wirearchy* which I thought was quite nice and had not seen before.
