Worldsourcing: A new global enterprise model

http://www.wikinomics.com/ blog/ index.php/ 2008/ 03/ 26/ worldsourcing-a-new-global-e...

I recently came across a new term, "Worldsourcing", that expresses beautifully the next generation of global enterprises. Take a look here, on the Lenovo blog. The idea behind Worldsourcing is really the dawn of the truly global enterprise. Global enterprises operate on a truly global scale; operate with porous corporate boundaries (interacting with "outside" partners in much the same collaborative way that "internal" departments work together); and bring that global approach to all functions (not just manufacturing and customer service). Let's look at each in more detail:

Just saw a new Twitter via Geoff Livingston about a Wikinomics post about Worldsourcing. Defined as: Truly global scale. Worldsourcing companies have no single corporate headquarters Porous corporate boundaries. Worldsourcing companies have porous corporate boundaries – meaning they manage a portfolio of “internal” (same owner) and “external” (different owners) resources in most aspects of their work. Across all business functions. While some business leaders have managed global scale and porous relationships in one or two key functions (e.g., manufacturing and software development), Worldsourcing companies take this approach across all business functions – including marketing, product development, sales and customer service. Wow, I couldn’t be more excited about how well this defines Flatsourcing, Inc. We are truly a global company and Worldsourcing is our enterprise model. A partnership between teams in Russia and the US with customers worldwide. I don’t think I could define our company better. Think Flat, Think Worldwide.
