The origin of the modern organization is as a collection of people working towards a common goal, creating value and serving the needs of a community.

The Knowledge inventory will become the most important element of Social Capitalism. Today, knowledge is largely sequestered behind the walls of corporation in the form of titles, skill codes, resumes, job descriptions, certifications, and college degrees.
