| Using the Vantage Points
Model, the conditions for communication at the end of the
20th Century affecting the Transition Manager will be: Philosophy
As technology provides information and tools to interpret
cause and effect and perhaps even boost our own capacity
for thinking, the energy and ethics will reflect the
atmosphere of the environment. Our shared commonality may
be uncommon even by today's norms.
Culture
The shared access to knowledge on the Internet has
already changed our culture and will serve as a medium to
reshape it even further. The cultural behavior will
become increasingly more plastic as the various
components of an enterprise are tied together in an
instant.
Policy
Typical lag times in disseminating changes in purpose,
intent and goals will all but disappear. Teams working in
dynamic environments will have the capacity for immediate
effective response.
Strategy
Quick response or the "exchange rate" of
information communicated. Communication is vital in
calculating risks and identifying opportunities for
innovation.
Tactics
Instant communication in the field of direct business
exchange arenas will provide players with the real time
information to carry out strategy with immediate
feedback.
Logistics
The technology, fields of energy, knowledge, and modes
for the distribution of these throughout the enterprise
will aid the transition manager at this level.
Task
Rapid learning and exchange will advance the rate that
tasks will be performed in the year 2000. Virtual Reality
will be reality.
