1. Industry and Business

Since the beginning of the Industrial revolution we have had small companies, grow to big companies. Once they reach this level, the business introduces a management hierarchy.

Large companies become complex and it creates a separation of the different types of workers i.e. White collar, blue collar, middle management, top management etc.

It creates a conflict with workers, they fear speaking up, in case they say the wrong thing and the Manager becomes upset. I see the future as becoming an uprising for the employee, where all workers, will be able to be open and say things in truthfulness and not be afraid of any retribution from management. Otherwise, how can companies succeed, while moving into the 4^th phase of our evolution.

We have seen recently, that companies become so big, that eventually they can only make decisions by the most senior Manager and it’s their decisions that move the companies to their next goal.

However, it’s my view that most large companies are creating inertia in the decisions, or their progress, because one person cannot make all the right decisions.

The whole basis in today’s world is, what can we return to the shareholders?

There is no consultation with the workforce, because they are scared of saying anything.

And yet the workforce, are people who buy the products and have ideas and thoughts on how to improve the goods.

Because companies are so large and that currently, there is an economic problem globally, companies feel that they now have total control over conditions and have introduced, zero hours contracts. This means that they can have workers when they say so and on their terms. This will of course lead to an eventual rebellion.

We are seeing in Greece and Spain 25% unemployment and this cannot continue to increase without revolutions. It’s likely, that after this period that companies MUST change on how they run companies.  Management will move towards their  rewarding and accountable on several basis. They will have to look at staff health and instead of waiting for staff to become ill, they must introduce employee Well Being programmes, to ensure that their staff mitigate illness as best possible. Managers will be judged on their community and social projects. How they will support local groups , whether sport or educational. Managers will be judged by their internal and external social programmes (i.e. how they look after families and how they integrate families within the work for their families. Corporations will supply; Mental Health clinics, Massage facilities, psychotherapy, physiotherapy etc

The old style large company buildings will disappear when the following is taken into account:

·         Travel time for staff

·         Costs for running large offices i.e. restaurants, gyms, Office furniture

·         It will be cheaper for staff to work from home or from much smaller regional offices, where staff only need to visit infrequently.

This will lead to families becoming closer, an increase in local community projects

The Industrial ownership is changing globally. China has taken about 30% of all Raw material companies in Asia and are currently buying out the African countries. China also owns 95% of all Rare Earth material. Eventually they will hold the manufacturing world to ransom that China hasn’t taken over. This will be a reason albeit too late, that governments will fund new services elsewhere.

This means that corporations will begin to look at less profit and returns to their shareholders, as a means of change and longevity of business and resources. Making staff a safe and happy and healthy environment will mean the world to all.

Corporation Chairman and board members will have a maturity not yet seen and they will take part in committees of local, regional and global magnitude and be asked to make decisions for the best of their people and the people of the world, as well as ethical responsibility, especially with regards to the environment, community concerns. They will also be responsible for economic, technological and social problems.

Management will look at all genders and use their feminine and masculine sides. This will make a balanced responsibility.

Business stakeholders will include;

·         Countries

·         Ecosystems

·         Gaia (Mother Earth & nature)

This means creating value for All.

Dysfunctional corporations and companies not willing to change for the better will not survive.

Companies will need to promote:

·         Recycling

·         Fund Educational programmes

·         Employees serve on joint corporation / citizen committees, to determine community needs.

·         Peace

·         Service

·         Personal fulfillment

·         Planetary and personal health

·         Justice

·         Sharing

How is the Corporation handling its global responsibilities?

What is the Corporation doing to improve creativity and Vision

New Corporation Structure.

Structure                                   =          Community

Locus of control and authority     =          Consensual decision making; everyone a leader, everyone a follower

Role of Management                  =          Non-existant

Atmosphere                              =          Freedom of self expression for all, openness and acceptance, equality,

                                                            flexibility and lifelong learning.

Team value model

Managers can be chosen by product or project

Democratic Model

No leader / Manager

In all, by changing our view of the corporate world and the way that we work, will reduce crime, though more leveling of the corporate world and the creation of work in business or the community.

If we become can make more involvement with community and our environment, will make us closer to nature, which in turn will save Earth and we can live longer.

.Today I will begin my thoughts for the future. You may agree and you may disagree. All I can say is that over the years I have been able to foresee many things, but as time goes by, no one remembers what I have said and neither do they care. So I have decided to publish my thoughts for our future, which are likely to happen without me being able to say ' I told you so!'

I will serialize it over the next couple of weeks and will publish one section at a time.
I hope that you don't find it too boring.

     Introduction

Everything has a pattern and today is no different. What we are seeing at the moment are conflicts, whether they are political, Terrorism, Economical, Social, Cultural.

All of them are linked and a symptom of the changes that are occurring globally.

Let’s take the global pattern I mentioned. When man came to be, he started to expand in population. This population needed feeding, so they created hamlets, then Villages and then Towns and then Cities. Up until this time the main focus was creating enough food to feed everyone. Families became farmers, who then invited friends to join the farming business.

Eventually, these communities became so big that food and requirements became large enough to enter another pattern.

At this point, we start to enter into the Industrial pattern and the need to standardize goods. This is the era where we became materialistic. This began about 1780 AD when the first machines were invented. Then things began to balloon. Hence the birth of the Manufacturing stages. This brought in large buildings and assembly lines. As these grew, it brought in Management, which then began the ‘chain of command’ which then brought in middle management and senior management.

This era, brought in people wanting to better themselves, by showing trophies like; houses, cars, jewelry etc.

In 1950’s a new introduction was shown and this was the introduction of TV and computers.

This pattern is still in the current phase, but it is beginning to clash with a new phase.

This new phase is where my thoughts begin.

Don’t be under any illusion, the new pattern we are entering will clash significantly with the current pattern and the next phase will take over in a short period of time.

The global turmoil is part of the start of this clash.

We have global unemployment, which causes population unrest through boredom, as well as low esteem, having had secure jobs for many years.

We have terrorism, which is caused by poverty, when others have riches. It’s very easy to create unrest and , when people are finding day to day life a struggle. The Taliban for example provide promises, religion, a culture and some compensation for families.

We have political unrest in many of the developed countries. Why?  We can’t trust politicians anymore.

They have proven to lie, they have proven to line their own pockets and as for serving their electorate, these politicians are few and far between. Political bodies are unelected and yet pass laws that we don’t want and certainly don’t provide any benefit to us!

So based on this I decided to think and read about the future and I decided to share my thoughts with you.

There has to be a global stewardship created and people will look towards personal fulfillment.

We will look for unity in economic and social justice, as the law becomes unmanageable due to lack of resources. Leadership will include sharing local, national and global affairs.

People and their Mobiles should be monitored

Sitting on the train in the morning is a nightmare. I remember the days I could have a sleep on the way to work.
These days it's a case of listening to women talking about their washing machine and the powder they use or it's about their hairdresser or it's about family or guys they have met!
' This guys came up to me in the bar last night and he said' ' would you like a drink?'
and I am thinking ' what is that all about?' and I thought ' he must be loaded if he is buying' ' i will get him to buy all the girls a drink and then I will tell him to get lost, Loooseeerrr!'
These are type of conversations they have on their phones.
Or
It's a case of an Indian vs Bulgarian talking to their mates or relatives and each one competing to speak louder than the other!
This morning I was very near to asking the woman talking about her washing, whether she was using biological or not!!!

Mr Platini will make changes

Platini the EUFA chief has always been against technology for goal lines.
Mainly becaujse the English are always calling for it, based on the goals we never get due to bad decisions.
So he introduces 2 extra linesmen, one at each goal to counteract these failings.
They were introduced about 3 years ago in EUFA tournaments and quite honestly they have been useless.
Last night England had the luck where the goal linesman was absolutely useless and said a ball had NOT crossed the England goal when it had quite clearly.
Now watch Mr Platini bring the technology in, as he can't abide England getting an advantage.

Ferdinand has no right!

Rio Ferdinand who was injured for half a season, is susceptible to injury and can't keep his gob shut.
He just typifies what has happened in the England football team. Some players think they have the RIGHT to play for England.
The England Manager has to make decisions and he has brought in young players. Kelly, he coached for a while at Liverpool has taken Ferdinand's position.
I stand by Hodgeson and let him pick the team as England are not expected to get far in the tournament this year so it's ideal to play who he wants to get a team built for 2014 World Cup!

Todays musings!

So the government had an MP or something who was named the 'back to work Tsar'!
Who is now out of work!
Caught with her hand in the till or something and has had to resign.
Not much hope for the unemployed then, unless you want to learn how to nick or defraud people!!

I get to work before 8am!
A young girl is walking towards me flustered and drops her security badge.
I said ' You have dropped something' she stared at me as if I was a moron!
Fortunately the security guard picked it up for her and confirmed she dropped it.
What a state to come to work!
I suggest she has www.rescueremedy.com I am going to check it out.

So there is this town in Switzerland that has some of the brightest sparks on Earth and they run their multi-million pound machine to check out the speed of light. They conclude that Einstein may have been wrong!!
There is something faster than light and Einstein was wrong.
Now it seems that this is incorrect 'cos they have found that the bright spark putting the machine together made a faulty wire connection or didn't tighten the screw up for the connection!
Now this is fairly basic for a sparks (colloquialism for an electrician - get it)
So it seems that all the bright sparks have been outdone by a low spark!!!

NORTHERNERS LOTTERY

Is it me who is wondering why it appears a high percentage of lottery and euro lottery winners are north of Watford?
The first winner was a Pakistani in Bolton who was sent to Coventry as its against Islam. As a southerner, there is no justice in this world. WE IN THE SOUTH CAN COPE WITH MONEY AND THOSE IN THE NORTH HAVE NO IDEA!
