My Vision of The New Virtual Organization Worldby Pierre Coupet

So what exactly is The New Virtual Organization World and how does it differfrom the virtual world, virtual reality world, and the brick and mortar world?

Well, the virtual world consists of all the applications, tools, services andtechnologies that are made available to us all from the internet. Whereas, the virtualreality world is a digital simulation of one or more aspects of our real brick andmor tar world environment. And for those of you who may not be familiar with thebrick and mortar term, the brick and mortar world is the real and physical worldthat we live in.

On the other hand, The New Virtual Organization World" is a world that is primarilymade up of virtual organizations that inhabit the virtual world and peacefullycoexist with the brick and mortar world. These virtual organizations derive their

resources from not only the virtual world and virtual reality world but also from the brick and mortar world.

So, prior to going any further, let me define a virtual organization. A virtualorganization is an organization which strictly consists of the following: a virtualworkforce, a virtual workspace, and adherence to a strict adoption of the virtualorganization management discipline (i.e., best practices, policies and procedures foroperating and managing in a 100% virtual environment in accordance with the

founder of the discipline). Absent any one of these three criteria, an organizationshall not be deemed to be a virtual organization.

Now that you have a very slight sense of The New Virtual Organization World, let me share with you my vision of this new world and how it will have a transformativeeffect on human evolution in the centuries and millennia to come.

Global and Widespread Adoption of Virtual Organization Aptitude Assessmentfor All Personnel


2/27

Whether you work for a mom-and-pop organization, one of the largest corporations inthe world, a non-governmental organization (NGO) or major nonprofit organization, agovernmental entity, or an educational institution, advances in virtualizationtechnologies and social and collaborative tools and services are forcing allorganizations to consider how to become more efficient and productive in a virtualenvironment.

However, as many human resource executives and hiring managers have alreadydiscovered, working in a virtual environment is fraught with a number of dangers andsignificant challenges and, therefore, is not suitable for everyone. The million-dollarquestion then becomes, Besides using my gut feelings, flipping a coin, or giving

someone a chance and seeing how things work out, how can I tell whether or not a person is suitable to work in a virtual environment and where can I get thatanswer?

The answer lies in Virtual Organization Recruiter , the only such service provider inthe world and a company which I chair. Virtual Organization Recruiter provides,among many other virtual organization assessment solutions, a formal,standardized Virtual Organization Aptitude Assessment solution for all employersworldwide. Henceforth, employers no longer have to take a shot in the dark, crosstheir fingers and hope for the best; play Russian roulette or guessing games; or utilizeunreliable homegrown solutions from well-meaning employees that are tantamountto having the blind leading the blind or in the land of the blind, the one -eyed man

is king. For the most part, these homegrown solutions typically end up being anexercise in futility and throwing money down the drain.

Global and Widespread Adoption of Employees Working in a VirtualEnvironment

Now that Virtual Organization Recruiter has taken the uncertainty and guessing gameout of the virtual workforce hiring process and made it possible for employersworldwide to no longer be shackled with the fear of having an inefficient andunproductive virtual workforce (throwing money down the drain), I envision the day

when all new hires will automatically be administered a Virtual Organization AptitudeAssessment in order to determine their potential to adapt and thrive in a virtual orvirtual organization environment. As well, all existing employees who can do theirwork in a virtual environment will also be tested.

Consequently, I envision the day when successful candidates who are allowed to workin a virtual environment will vastly outnumber brick and mortar personnel. In fact,

brick and mortar personnel who prefer to get on the freeway for the tortuous daily trekto the office will one day be relegated to a dinosaur- or legacy-type status within theirorganization.

Rapid Spread of Virtual Organizations Worldwide

Now that organizations worldwide are no longer shackled with the fear of havingunproductive and unmanageable employees working in a virtual environment, andhave seen and/or experienced the results for themselves, I see the day when they will

begin to evolve to the next level - which is the formation of completely autonomousand self-sufficient virtual organizations within an existing brick and mortarorganization .

This means that these virtual organizations will operate in parallel with their brickand mortar counterpart instead of being just an extension or appendage of the brickand mortar enterprise. Think of these virtual organizations as being the equivalent ofour United States Navy Seals; in the sense that, although the Navy Seals are part ofthe US Navy, they have a separate mission and command structure.

Entire groups, departments, divisions - and even subsidiaries - will be converted tovirtual organizations. As well, new virtual organizations will be formed on demand,thereby, completely bypassing the brick and mortar route and command structure.

New hires and existing employees who are selected to become part of such virtual

organizations will all undergo a formal virtual organization executive leadership andcertification process in order to insure a smooth transition from working in a virtualenvironment to working in a virtual organization environment - since there is a bigdifference between the two.

Virtual Organization Recruiter has teamed up with VOMI Virtual OrganizationAcademy in order to offer a formal Virtual Organization Executive designation toeach individual who successfully completes the 90-day Virtual OrganizationLeadership Executive Training, Assessment & Certification program offered atVirtual Organization Recruiter. All program participants will receive a formal

introduction to--and become well-versed in--the practical, day-to-day aspects of themodern virtual organization management discipline that I have founded and pioneeredsince 1997.

Prolific Adoption of a New C-Level and Board Member Executive Position:Chief Virtual Organization Architect

4/27

Keeping in line with my comparison of the mission and command structure of virtualorganizations to that of the Navy Seals within the US Navy, I envision thatorganizations worldwide will, as a natural course of evolution--and both as a matter ofnecessity and as a logical extension of the importance of the unique role played byvirtual organizations under their brick and mortar umbrella--understand the need tohave on board a "Chief Virtual Organization Architect," a new C-level and BoardMember position. This is a non- IT position which is separate from the CIOsorganizational hierarchy and which reports directly to the CEO and Chairman of theBoard.

All such chief virtual organization architects will be required to have successfullycompleted the similarly titled Chief Virtual Organization Architect (CVOA) 2 -yeardesignation program offered at Virtual Organization Management Institute - anothercompany that I chair.

Rapid Spread of Living Virtual Workspaces

As brick and mortar organizations evolve to primarily become virtual organizations,they will be faced with either or both of the following options: 1) Dispose of anyexcess real estate owned and, in the case of real estate leases, just allow them to expireor, 2) Convert all excess real estate into Living Virtual Worskpaces.

So, what are living virtual workspaces? They are office buildings that have beenconverted to temporary short- and long- term corporate housing for a companys

virtual workforce. These employees will live and work from their own condo ortownhouse units. Back in 2011, I wrote a very long white paper titled Vision ofProfessional Office Buildings in a Virtual Organization World which goes into greatdetail on that subject.

The Rapid Proliferation and Importance of Virtual Corporate Communities(VCC)

What is a Virtual Corporate Community? A virtual corporate community is a high -rise or single-family residential community, the latter being preferred, that is strictly

designed and built for corporate employees who will be working in a virtualorganization environment. Spouses of employees and/or dependent children are notrequired to be working online in a virtual environment or to attend school online,respectively, however, that would be highly desired.

With respect to standard accommodations, accessories and features automatically provided to all residents of that community, they are nearly identical to those providedto residents of a Virtual Residential Community described below.

Why would an employer want to set up a virtual corporate community? Here are afew examples:

(a) for companies with large numbers of foreign employees who either live abroad orwho will arrive here in their country, and who will be working in a virtualenvironment on a short- or long-term temporary or permanent basis;

(b) as temporary housing for visiting or transferred corporate executives who will beworking in a virtual environment -- which can result in a tremendous amount ofsavings on employee relocation costs;

(c) as temporary or permanent housing for their full-time expatriate employees whowill be working overseas in a virtual organization environment;

(d) as an excellent corporate loyalty and employee retention tool, especially forsingles, new college graduates, and younger employees; and

(e) for 100s of other reasons that are just too numerous to mention - use your ownimagination!

The Rapid Proliferation and Importance of Virtual Residential Communities(VRC) Around the Globe

What is a Virtual Residential Communi ty (VRC) and why would we want to haveany?

A Virtual Residential Community is a high-rise or single-family residentialcommunity that is designed and built for residents who will be strictly working and/oroperating in either a virtual or virtual organization environment . In the case ofstudent residents, they must be attending school online. Standard accommodations,

accessories and features automatically provided to all residents of that communityinclude: (1) a gated 24-hour security community; (2) a sound- proof Virtua lSanctuary Room for studying and noise -free conferences when required; (3) an ultra-high definition videoconference user account for each resident; (4) a high-

performance network box with super fast wi-fi capability; (5) high-speed access to theinternet with a minimum upload and download speed of 1 Gigabit per second; (6) oneGoogle Chromebook or other laptop computer for each resident; (7) a distributed free


6/27

energy power generator able to power the entire high-rise community or, in the caseof a single-family residential community, an individual unit to generate power foreach single-family residence; (8) an iPad or Android tablet; (9) a smart phone (e.g.,any iPhone, Windows Phone or Android-based device) for each resident; (10) aPhablet can be added or substituted for items #8 and 9; (11) an Online Cloud Storageaccount of 2TB or more for each resident; (12) a Personal Cloud Storage device of4TB for each resident or of 12TB with automatic backup features for an entire single-family residence; (13) a digital content streaming device such as Apple TV or Rokuwith a complimentary Netflix, Hulu or other streaming content provider account; (14)an Ultra-High Definition TV with built-in ultra-high definition webcam and super fastWi-Fi for each resident; and (15) a TV box for each room.

Why do we need Virtual Residential Communities?

Virtual residential communities (VRCs) range from the most basic, asaforementioned, to the most luxurious , and the reasons for their existence vary aswell.

Some of these reasons are: (1) for residents at remote locations who lack access toquality transportation, economic and educational resources; (2) to transform ghost or

blighted communities into modern and vibrant living oases with a strong tax revenue base; (3) to eliminate welfare as we know it; (4) to bridge the digital divide and provide equal access to 21st century resources for certain segments of the population;(5) to end the cycle of hopelessness, violence, incarceration and re-incarceration,

welfare, drug dependency, welfare state dependency, and poverty for certain sectorsof the urban or remote rural population; (6) environmental and ecological issues; (7)medical and accessibility issues; (8) certain life changing events which either preventmobility or make it extremely burdensome; (9) quality of life issues; and last but notleast, (10) as a status symbol for the global elite, the rich and the super-rich.

These reasons represent just a small fraction of 100s of reasons why we need virtualresidential communities.

To illustrate how you can make a paradigm shift from crime-ridden, dilapidated and

drug- infested housing projects and other welfare as we know it programs to oasesof learning, self-empowerment, and prosperity, please indulge me a bit:

Imagine, for one minute, being the mayor of a small city with ghost and blightedcommunities in the Detroit metropolitan area - a city with a nearly non-existent taxrevenue base.


7/27

In partnership with your social services unit, your local county welfare unit, stategovernment, the federal government, residential real estate developers, local anddistant online education institutions, and other business and commercial stakeholders,you could plant a Virtual Residential Community right in the middle of a blightedcommunity. This virtual residential community will serve as a catalyst for many moresuch virtual residential communities in the near and distant future.

All virtual community residents would: (a) be provided with gated security and beinsulated from their immediate surrounding, (b) have access to 21st centurytechnology tools and resources, (c) obtain access to--as well as be required to

participate--in free or heavily subsidized world-class training and education online--adults and children alike (part-time for adults and full-time for children), and (d) berequired to work in a virtual environment on either a full-time or part-time basis,subject to their individual skill level and specialty field.

Children who are at least 13 years old would be required to participate in paid orunpaid, part-time virtual internships during the school year; those who are at least 16years old would be provided with paid, part-time virtual internships during the schoolyear; and all students would be provided wi th full -time paid internships during the

summer.

With respect to all adult residents, their employers can be from anywhere in theworld since all adults will automatically receive training and obtain certification in thevirtual organization management discipline from VOMI Virtual Organization

Academy . As for all children 13 years and older who are participating in these paid orunpaid virtual internships, these employers can also be from anywhere in the worldsince these students would, as part of their regular school curriculum, already be verywell-versed in the virtual organization management discipline.

For example, an adult resident of a Virtual Residential Community (VRC) in aDetroit suburb could be working in a virtual environment for a German company inBerlin while a 13-year-old student could be participating in a paid or unpaid virtualinternship with either Google, Apple, Microsoft, IBM, the NSA, the FBI, Siemens, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, or any American company in

Beijing, New Delhi, Moscow, etc. The adult resident and the paid intern are bothtaxed on their income by the Internal Revenue Service, the state, and the city (whenapplicable).

Why the city income tax? The city income tax is actually called a VRC tax. It is onlyapplicable when a city is a primary sponsor of a VRC. After all, nothing in life is free.So, instead of having all taxpayers pay for the benefits given to a few, only tax the

recipients of such generous benefits through what I call a targeted distributed tax.That way, there will be no incentive for bureaucrats or taxpayers to champion the

building of a monstrous, abusive, and out-of-control welfare state. Once the bene ficiaries of a governments largesse are on their feet and begin to enjoy the prosperity enjoyed by the more affluent members of a community, they willimmediately want to leave the VRC in order to make room for others, and mostimportantly, to also get off the VRC tax roll and just pay their regular fair share of thetax burden.

As for other possible illustrations, just let your imagination flow. Residential realestate developers catering to upper income professionals, the rich and the super-richcan take this basic concept to the nth level.

Global Transformation of Public Schools (1-12) into Virtual CampusDormitories (VCD)

Every single public school in the world will be converted into a Virtual CampusDormitory whereby students from grade 1 -12 will live on campus and attend classesonline directly from a sound-proof Virtual Sanctuary Room in their dormitory room. Iwrote an article in 2013 titled A Paradigm Shift: From Public School to VirtualCampus Dormitory which goes into great detail of my vision of such virtual campusdormitories.

Each student will be taught the virtual organization management discipline from day

one to graduation. As well, all teachers will be required to obtain certificationfrom Virtual Organization Management Institute in order to teach the virtualorganization management discipline to these students.

Global Transformation of Publicly-Funded Community Colleges, Colleges andUniversities into Virtual Community College Campuses (VCCC), VirtualCollege Campuses (VCC) and Virtual University Campuses (VUC)

Just as public schools at the elementary and secondary levels will be converted intovirtual campus dormitories, so will it be with respect to publicly -funded community

colleges, colleges and universities. There is, however, one major exception: althoughall classes are conducted online in a 100% virtual environment, students and facultywill not be required to live on campus in order to attend school or teach classes online,respectively.

Students and faculty will have the option to live on campus if they so prefer, subjectto space availability. However, that being said, neither instructors nor students will be

able to come to campus strictly for the purpose of attending classes or teaching andthen only to return to their respective residence. The basic virtual infrastructurearchitecture will be similar to virtual campus dormitories ("VCD") in the sense thatstudents who prefer to come to the college or university campus will be required tolive on campus and attend classes online directly from a sound-proof VirtualSanctuary Room in their dormitory room.

With respect to the curriculum, just as every educational institution of higher learningmandates the inclusion of general education courses in the curriculum for graduation,so will the virtual organization management discipline be included.

Every publicly-funded college and university student who has neither previouslygraduated from a Virtual Campus Dormitory or Virtual Organization ManagementInstitute nor received the Virtual Organization Executive designation from VOMIVirtual Organization Academy will be required to participate in a 90 -day virtualorganization sabbatical program offered at their educational institution in partnershipwith VOMI Virtual Organization Academy .

The Virtual Organization Management Discipline Will Be the LeadingAlternative Education Worldwide

Regardless of where in the world you are located, people who are contemplatingmaking a career change or learning a new discipline, but eschew traditional educationand degrees, will be attracted to the modern virtual organization management

discipline for one and very simple reason: its relevance from a practical, economic,and quality of life standpoint .

From a Practical Standpoint. Its practical in the sense that: (1) its a critical skillthat is in high demand and which only a very few possess; (2) its a skill they will getan opportunity to use any or every second of the day on a daily basis while on the jobor during their own leisure time; an d (3) they dont have to take courses that they willnever use on the job or learn things that have no relevance to their daily life.

From an Economic Standpoint. It is reasonable to state that, as we progress through

the 21st century and well into the 22nd century, virtual collaboration tools andvirtualization technologies will continue to put us on an inexorable march towardworking in both a virtual and virtual organization environment. Consequently, we willneed virtual organizations to accommodate such development. As well, we will allneed the virtual organization management discipline which sets the standards on howto operate in that virtual organization environment.

But as it currently stands, we have approximately 8 billion people on the planet--and by the year 2100 around 16 billion people--who will, at one point or another, beintroduced to the virtual organization management discipline. Thus, in comparison toeducators for other disciplines, only a handful of teachers will be available to teachthe discipline.

Therefore, the demand for both educators and practitioners of the discipline fromaround the world will be so huge that it will take, at the very least, 100 years to beable to meet the worlds demand. Thus, the law of supply and dema nd will insure thatthe compensation for these teachers and practitioners will be way above the norms forquite some time into the future - going well into the 22nd century.

From a Quality of Life Standpoint. Lets face it, very few of us want to get up in themorning at the same time, like a bunch of zombies, just so we can get in our cars anddrive on a congested and polluted freeway a la bumper -to- bumper, breathing toxicfumes down our lungs. Plenty more can be said, however, I am sure that, for most ofyou, I would only be preaching to the choir. Hence, I will let you come up with yourown quality of life reasons as they apply to you directly.

Therefore, I envision that Virtual Organization Management Institute will be a veryvibrant provider of the alternative virtual organization management education and thatthe virtual organization management discipline will continue to flourish well into the22nd century and beyond.

The Virtual Organization Management Discipline Will Be Required Training forAll Astronauts and Human Settlement Inhabitants on Other Planets

I envision the day when the virtual organization management discipline will berequired training for all astronauts who are engaged in long interplanetary, interstellarand intergalactic space travel. So will it be for all human settlement inhabitants onother planets.

Hopefully, current and future major technological advances in the production of staticand dynamic plasma reactors and other forms of gravitational and energy systems willone day allow mankind to drastically shorten the amount of time it would take forsuch interplanetary, interstellar, and intergalactic space travel.

There is a long list of pioneers in the space travel field who have either been silencedor marginalize d by their governments for national security reasons, as well as to

preserve the current global economic interests status quo. Hopefully, the benefit tomankind will one day trump all other considerations and the truth and persistence willeventually see the light of day.

As we speak, an exciting race is under way for the establishment of the first permanent human settlement on Mars and, according to one such contender, MarsOne , a Dutch nonprofit foundation founded by Bas Lansdorp and Arnold Wielders , itexpects to land the first group of permanent human settlers on Mars in the year 2025.Training for the first crew is scheduled to begin in 2015 and will continue all the wayto 2024. A crowdfunding campaign began on December 10, 2013 at indiegogo forMars One. Several other contenders include The Mars Homestead Project by TheMars Foundation, Develop Space , and Mars Direct . The future is here!

Retail Department Stores and Shopping Malls Will Be Converted intoEntertainment and Social Experience Centers

In the New Virtual Organization World, visionary retailers will no longer use thecurrent antiquated method of selling to their customers and will strictly focus on e-commerce. Instead of using their retail stores to store, display and sell their inventory,they will vastly decrease their shopping mall real estate footprint and will insteadfocus on converting all remaining stores that are strategically located throughout aregion into major "entertainment and social experience centers" that are designed todrive online sales and very tightly embed them in each local community they serve.With respect to existing employees (retail associates and managers) who are notworking at the new entertainment and social experience centers, they will be trained towork online in a 100% virtual environment.

Why is that, you might say? Thats because even in todays day and age, as we speak,its really no longer necessary to get out of our house to make any kind of purcha se.Fast forwarding 20 years into the future:

With the advent and rapid proliferation of giant size Ultra -High Definition TVsworldwide; mobile devices and phablets which are really personal supercomputers(PSC) operating at unheard of computing proc essing speeds and with new parallel

programming- based application software that todays average person cannot even begin to fathom; the global adoption of virtualization tools; mind-boggling advancesin virtual reality technologies; 3-D holographic display devices and software; and thefull convergence of these Ultra-High Definition TVs with the internet, the computer,all these mobile devices, virtual reality tools, holographic display devices, videogaming, entertainment and e-commerce platforms -- surfing the internet at average

speeds in the range of 100+ Gbps in the average home -- we will be able to not onlyreplicate but greatly and positively enhance todays brick and mortar shoppingexperience.

speed - a speed which was back then almost unimaginable. Therefore, if broadband speed progress continues at that same pace, within the next 20 years, we could,theoretically speaking, be able to obtain broadband speed at the rate of 968 Gbps.)

We will be able to try on clothes, shoes, etc. right in the comfort of our home from ourlaptop or personal supercomputer (PSC) or supercomputer mobile devices. We will beable to even replicate any type of object or environment for any type of measurement.Just as today you can be in London and have your holographic representation make alive stage presentation to an audience in Beijing, so will this technology be availableto us all some day, without the need for telepresence providers such as AV Concepts . In fact, unless you really enjoy going out to the mall just to get out of the house or to

be around others, it can be very inconvenient for you to step outside to go shoppingespecially when there are dozens of other things you could be very happy doing.

I wrote an article in January of 2011 titled Visions of the Future in a VirtualOrganization World: Vision of Retail Department Stores and Shopping Malls that

provides much more details of my vision.

Invention and Rapid Proliferation of the HoloPhablet and Holographic HomeEntertainment Center

What is a HoloPhablet? Its the convergence of a hologram device, a smart phone, asupercomputer tablet, and a most advanced virtual reality device. Lets explore someof its uses.

How about having your hologram standing or sitting with your friends at a table in anightclub in Rio de Janeiro while you are at home in Paris, London, Beijing oranyplace else in the world? Anyone in the nightclub would be able to see you,however, for privacy and security reasons, this technology would only allow you tosee and talk to friends who have given you permission to do so. Imagine having yourhologram listening and dancing to the music on the dance floor (while talking withand seeing your live dance partner). As well, for complete privacy, you can send outyour holographic representation and conversation for viewing and hearing onlythrough your friends Google Glass -type device. (In fact, it would not be that unusual.

Back in my younger days, I can recall myself, along with many others, dancing aloneon the dance floor on several occasions.) I can even envision your hologram beingable to view and communicate with anyone whose HoloPhablet permission settingsfor Hologram View is set to public.

The Hologram View settings would be as follows:

1) Public - in this mode, any HoloPhablet owner can (a) be physically seen by ahologram, (b) receive a request for 2-way hologram-to-live person videocommunication, (c) receive a request for 2-way hologram-to-hologram live videocommunication; or (d) receive a request for a private Google Glass-type conversationwherein the hologram and conversation is private between the parties;

2) Private - in this mode, only a HoloPhablet owners personal contacts who have been explicitly granted permission to make contact and have been provided with theowners Holograph Access ID can submit the types of request available in theaforementioned Public mode;

3) Private and Confidential - in this mode, in addition to all Private permissionsavailable, both users can also send and receive requests for: (a) encrypted 2 -wayhologram-tolive person video communication, (b) encrypted 2 -way hologram-to-hologram live video communication, (c) encrypted one -way hologram-to-live

person video communication, (d) encrypted one -way live person-to-hologram videocommunication, and (e) encrypted one -way hologram-to-hologram live videocommunication. In encrypted mode, a hologram would look l ike a ghost" to thegeneral public.

Entertainment a la Star Trek holodeck style will be prevalent and holodeckentertainment programmers will sprout around the world just the way weveexperienced an explosion of web developers and programmers over the past 20 years.

The Rapid Proliferation and Importance of Virtual Military Units (VMU),Virtual Military Intelligence Units (VMIU) and Virtual Intelligence Agencies(VIA) Around the Globe

Virtual Military Units. Military units which do not specifically involve personnel onthe battlefield will be housed in residential facilities which closely mirror theirVirtual Residential Community civilian counterpart, with some notable exceptionsto be mentioned later.

Members of all the military branches, including all new recruits during basic training,

whose Specialty Code involve assignment to virtual military units or working in avirtual organization environment, will automatically receive training and obtaincertification in the virtual organization management discipline from VOMI VirtualOrganization Academy .

Members of these military units will all live and work online directly from theirresidence. As with their civilian counterpart, e ach service members residence will

have a sound- proof Virtual Sanctuary Room for conducting official activities onlineduring working hours; however, it will meet the demands of the military unit and behighly secure.

Each service member will be equipp ed with the aforementioned HoloPhablet -except that it would be highly secure and all communication would be heavilyencrypted. With respect to other aspects of the residential and logistical infrastructureof such virtual military units, I will, for security reasons, refrain from providing anyfurther details.

Virtual Military Intelligence Units. Depending on the nature of the intelligence being gathered and conflict location, deep throat or invisible virtual militaryintelligence units could be inserted deep inside a targeted country anywhere in theworld. All unit members would receive training in the virtual organizationmanagement discipline. With respect to the length and type of training andinfrastructure of such virtual military units, I will, for security reasons, refrain from

providing any further details.

Virtual Intelligence Agencies. As the U.S. intelligence community learned duringthe 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, a central location -- no matter how well-fortified it isand regardless of how much redundancy is built into its system infrastructure -- canrepresent a very tempting target for a potential foe. At the very least, such attack to aheavily populated central location can be very disruptive, create a lot of chaos, andcause a lot of physical damage and human casualties.

A virtual intelligence agency can function as an autonomous virtual organization unitwithin the parent brick and mortar intelligence agency. All such virtual intelligenceagency members would receive training in the virtual organization managementdiscipline. With respect to the length and type of training and infrastructure of suchvirtual intelligence agencies, I will, for security reasons, refrain from providing anyfurther details.

Very Smooth Flowing Freeway Traffic on a 24/7/365 Basis

Once weve learned how to adapt and thrive in a virtual and virtual organizationenvironment and have completely overcome our fear of virtual organizations, ourfreeways will return back to normal and serve their original purpose instead of theircurrent function as a toxic slow death trap.

Imagine breathing fresh air on the streets of Beijing instead of choking, cancer-causing smog down your lungs. Whether you are in India, China, Russia, the UK,


15/27

France, the USA, South Africa, or any other country in the world, traffic tie-ups and breathing deadly smog and fumes will be a thing of the past.

A Complete Overhaul of Our Entire Legal System Which Reflects the Realitiesof The New Virtual Organization World

Over the next 200 years, there will be sweeping changes in the structure of ourexecutive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. These changes will reflectthe realities of life in The New Virtual Organization World; a new era which will

bring about a global and most fundamental transformation of society as we now knowit, and which will result in paradigm shifts on how we address the most important and

pressing issues of our time.

Abolition of Deprecated and Conflicting Laws. Some of these changes will includethe wholesale abolishment of antiquated laws as well as laws that are in conflict withThe New Virtual Organization World.

For example:

labor laws which are inconsistent with the realities of life in a virtualorganization environment;

labor laws which have nothing to do with workplace safety; immigration laws which have nothing to do with the security and safety of a

countrys residents; 90% of federal, state and local internal revenue laws; federal, state and local laws which have nothing to do with protecting our

environment; laws which have nothing to do with public safety; laws which govern personal behavior, religion, morality, etc.; laws which restrict any type of voluntary consumption of any kind, including

recreational drugs; laws which restrict freedom of movement for individuals who havent been

convicted of a crime; laws which restrict the freedom to travel;

laws which restrict freedom of association; laws which restrict a persons right to self -defense; laws which restrict a persons right to own, purchase or sell goods that are not

considered biological weapons or weapons of mass destruction; laws which restrict transparency in government irrespective of the reasons for

secrecy;


16/27

primitive laws which allow governments to interfere with the development,licensing, sale and sharing of intellectual property in the name of nationalsecurity;

primitive laws which allow governments to interfere with the development, production, distribution and sale of advanced technologies--for nationalsecurity reasons;

death penalty laws; laws which permit the incarceration of human beings behind bars; laws which permit the indefinite detention of human beings for national

security reasons; laws which restrict freedom of the press; laws which restrict freedom of choice; laws which violate the sanctity of private residences and places of worship; laws which violate the sanctity of life; laws which restrict what a man or woman can do with their body; laws which regulate personal attire and cosmetic appearance; laws which restrict non-predatory sexual behavior; laws which discriminate against any segment of society; laws which restrict the freedom to engage in global commerce; all laws pertaining to sanctions imposed on individuals, governments, and

countries; all laws which allow governments to seize private property without due

process, regardless of how they were obtained.

Virtual Organization Venue for Court and Legal Proceedings. I envision the daywhen all court and legal proceedings will be conducted online in a virtual organizationenvironment. No more having to show up in a brick and mortar court.

Law Enforcement Operating in a 100% Virtual Organization Environment. Alllaw enforcement personnel will operate in a 100% virtual organization environment.

No more police officers on the street or in squad cars. Police officers will only besummoned in life and death cases where their actual physical presence is required, asis the case today with your local fire department. The Internet of Things willmonitor all other types of activities and infractions.

Online Worker Strikes, Public Protests and Demonstrations. With respect toworker strikes, labor protests, public protests and demonstrations, all such activitieswill be carried out online on an official multibillion dollar megasite and videoconference platform able to accommodate millions of concurrent users; such platformto be specifically provided by each country for such activities. Poorer countries in a

particular region of the world may pool their financial resources together in order to


17/27

build and share such site and platform. That will eliminate the need for violentdemonstrations resulting in personal injuries, loss of life, and property damage. Aswell, that will eliminate the need for violence from both sides, riot police, curfews,martial law, etc.

Official Recognition of a Virtual Organization as a New Type ofCorporation. Countries worldwide will allow individuals and organizations toregister a virtual organization corporation as a new type of corporation and willrecognize the rights of virtual organizations that are enshrined in The New VirtualOrganization World Constitution.

Political Parties Will Become Irrelevant and Obsolete. Political parties havealways been a resting place for people who are jockeying for power (politicians) andan outlet for special interests to exert their economic influence over these politiciansin order to achieve their own objectives. Other than giving to the public the illusionthat there exists a difference between the parties and that their vote makes adifference, there is indeed no fundamental difference between the parties, regardlessof the number of parties that exist. These politicians are all patriots, share the sameideology, and basically have the same agenda for their country.

The only difference that your vote makes is for the winner of the vote and the specialinterests that s/he will be beholden to from then on in order to keep winning elections.In essence, political parties really are (and have always been and will always be for aslong as they exist) nothing but cesspools of corruption. However, that being said,

there are a lot of honorable men and women who have initially chosen public service because they truly believe in their system of government and felt that they could makea real difference (until, of course, they finally came face-to-face with political realityand realized that they cant change the system - and that the world is what it is).

Fast forward 20- 2000 years from now: As people become more intelligent (I do notmean educated since intelligence has very little to do with education) and moreempowered due to the dizzying pace of advances in technology; and begin to takemore and more control over their lives and economic destiny; they will no longer fallfor the same old placebo, smoke and mirrors, and dog -and- pony show that has

worked so well, in one form or another, throughout the ages - after all, politics has been around since the beginning of mankind.

Except for President and Vice President, Voting for Public Officials Will BecomeObsolete. We will continue to have mayors, governors, senators and congressmen andwomen, etc., however, except for the president and vice-president, they will no longer

be elected positions. These will be appointed and unpaid honorary positions. The


18/27

appointment process will be very transparent. The term of service will be for one yearwith a one-year term limit. No campaigning or political contributions will be allowed.Also, lobbying by special interest groups will not be allowed.

Instead of voting for individuals, voting will only be allowed for selection of crowd-sourced decisions and alternative decisions which have already been made aftercareful deliberation by competent professionals.

Rotating Presidency Subject to a 1-Year Term Limit. With respect to the presidency, there will be a rotating presidency. Every 6 years voters will go to the polls online, a la caucus style, to select 6 presidents and vice-presidents who will eachserve for a single term of 1 year over the next 6 years.

All campaigning for the presidency, to be funded only by individual taxpayers andsubject to a contribution limit, will be conducted online over a 90-day period on anofficial multibillion dollar election megasite and video conference platform able toaccommodate millions of concurrent users; this election megasite will be specifically

provided by each country for such activities. Poorer countries in a particular region ofthe world may also pool their financial resources together in order to build and sharesuch site.

I know I will never see that day in my lifetime (and perhaps for many othergenerations), however, as sure as I am that the sun will rise in the morning, so willthat time come one day.

A Paradigm Shift in Structural Thinking: From Human Being to IntelligentBeing, From MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) to MAP (Mutually AssuredProsperity), From Democracy to Freedom, From War to Building Paradise onEarth, etc.

I wanted to save the best for last. So how can virtual organization management, inconjunction with advances in parallel programming, computing processing power,virtual organization tools and virtualization technologies, as well as broadband speedover the next 20 to 100 to 1000+ years, help bring about this paradigm shift in our

structural thinking and what exactly do I mean by structural thinking?

Structural Thinking is an instinctive or programmed" way of thinking that servesas a basis - or should I say, the basic foundation - for every single thought and ideawhich comes to our minds. This means that every time we think that we have come upwith a new or novel idea or solution to a problem, all that we are really doing isexpressing our instinctive way of thinking in a different form and that the essence of


19/27

the new idea or solution remains practically unchanged from the previous idea orsolution. As frightening and disconcerting as this may seem to some of us, what thismeans is that everything that we will say or do in our lifetime has already been pre-

programmed into our minds.

Its like taking a vanilla cake; flattening it out with our hands; adding some morewater, chocolate syrup, and some coconut flakes to it; putting the entire mixture in ametal container; and then putting the container in the oven. We then adjust the ovensettings to 400 degrees and set the timer for a full 45 minutes. Once the timer alarmcomes on, we spread some chocolate with coconut icing on the cake and then claimthat weve invented a new cake.

To paraphrase an old saying by the French novelist, Alfonse Karr, the more thingschange, the more they remain the same. Which explains why, in spite of all thetechnological advances weve made over the millions of years that we and ourancestors and human forebears have been on this planet, we still, for the most part,think and act like savage beasts and primitive humans - no matter what kind of fancydressin g or icing on the cake we use as attributes to portray and describe ourselves.The only difference between todays humans and our forebears is that we humanshave risen to the top of the food chain and technology has allowed us to becomedeadlier and muc h more ferocious by an astounding order of magnitude. Todaysworld order is really no different than that of 1-7 million years ago - only the playersand the technology have changed. Nothing of substance from a "structural thinking"standpoint has changed.

The question then becomes, Is it possible to change our structural thinking and, if so,how do we do that? The answer is yes, however, that being said, it will take atremendous amount of time and effort over a period of hundreds, if not thousands ofyears. Unfortunately, there is no instant gratification, waving the magic wand-typesolution for this type of restructuring. But on the other hand, to paraphrase Confucius,a journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step.

So let us explore some of these structural thinking changes we need to make:

From Human Being to Intelligent Being. We can start the process by askingourselves this very simple question each and every time we are looking for a novelidea or solution to a vexing or perplexing problem and issue which seems to defytime: How is this new idea or solution substantially and structurally different from all

previous ideas or solutions? I have written a soon-to-be-published e-book on this verysubject titled A Paradigm Shift in Structura l Thinking: From Human Being toIntelligent Being, which goes into great detail on what it means to be an intelligent


20/27

being versus a human being and some of the techniques we can use to help us begin to make that transition.

As well, I recently wrote in March of 2013 an article titled Yesterday is Jealous ofToday and Tomorrow which provides some insights into why, to this date, but withminor except ions, we havent been able to make the transition to intelligent being,and how virtual organizations and virtual organization management can help us makethe transition to The New Virtual Organization World.

From Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) to Mutually Assured Prosperity(MAP). For nearly the past 60 years, a policy of mutually assured destruction has

prevented the two major superpowers, the United States and Russia, from attackingeach other (directly, of course) with either conventional or tactical nuclear weaponsout of a reasonable and logical fear that such an attack could result in both of themunleashing on each other their huge arsenal of nuclear weapons that can annihilate theentire human race thousands of time over, all within the space of just a few hours.

As well, a small number of other countries such as China, India, Pakistan, Israel,France, the UK and North Korea which have also joined the nuclear club have done sofor the same reason: to deter potential and current adversaries from conducting alarge-scale attack on them with either conventional or nuclear weapons.

The only incentive that nations have for wanting to become a member of such a clubis both their implicit and explicit recognition that, as I stated earlier, in spite of all the

technological advances that weve made over the millennia, we humans are indeednothing more than savage beasts who prey on each other in accordance with the lawof the jungle and that nothing short of a policy of mutually assured destruction issufficient to deter one nation from waging war on its weaker neighbors. And whenyou really think about it, the record speaks for itself.

But what if we realized that we were all members of one race--the human race--andthat, outside of our immediate family members (i.e., father, mother, children, brothers,sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, etc.) therest of us are in one way or another distant cousins whose ancestry can be traced back

to one single ape-like father and mother.

Since we are all, in effect, relatives of the same family, what if we humans wereintelligent enough to adopt a policy of mutually assured prosperity instead ofmutually assured destruction. How would that material ly change our thinking, ourmotivation, our attitude and, by extension, our actions toward each other? After all,its not technology that we are lacking in order to make the entire world a better place.

It is this illusion that we have of how disconnected we are from, or how superior orinferior that we are to, each other due to these imaginary and primitive constructs thathave been embedded in our DNA and psyche---and whose burdens we have beenshouldering---since the beginning of time.

I am currently finishing an e-book on this very subject titled A Paradigm Shift inStructural Thinking: From Mutually Assured Destruction to Mutually Assured

Prosperity, which goes into great detail on what it means to take such a giant leap instructural thinking and how virtual organizations and the virtual organizationmanagement discipline can help us begin to make that transition.

From Democracy to Freedom. Democracy, as we know it, is really nothing morethan a hologram which gives us humans the illusion of our institutions being agovernment of the people, by the people, and for the people. Even in an ideal world,the best that democracy can ever produce is the tyranny of a majority or themanipulation of the majority by a few.

To digress a bit, when I was a young college student, I heard similar views from myPolitical Science professor and just couldnt believe this sort of blasphemy and

political heresy I was hearing from him. I surely thought that my professor had gonemad and off the deep end. I am sure he d be pleased to know that I remembered hiswords almost 40 years later.

To continue on the subject of democracy, there are some who believe that freedom is

a by-product of democracy. Again that is completely wrong. There is no correlation between freedom and democracy (as we know it).

Freedom has nothing to do with voting, what a majority thinks and is able to dictate,the number of political parties, and being able to demonstrate in the streets. Freedomis the (near) total absence of any kind or level of imposition of tyranny, oppression,unnecessary physical harm, coercion and mental duress, and undue restrictions onindividual members of society. What constitutes tyranny, etc. is certainly up forexhaustive debate and will certainly require a change in structural thinking. After all,which tyrant, oppressor, or dictator truly believes that s/he deserves that label?

I have written a soon-to-be-published e-book on this very subject titled A ParadigmShift in Structural Thinking: From Democracy to Free dom, which goes into greatdetail on what it means to take such a giant leap in structural thinking and how virtualorganizations and the virtual organization management discipline can help us begin tomake that transition.


22/27

From War to Building Paradise On Earth. Oh, what a horrible mess weve made ofParadise Earth! Weve been able to justify making such a mess of the earth because,as we always say when a loved one passes away, s/hes gone to a better place ors/hes gone to heaven, and we do not believe that what we now have is heaven or

paradise.

Thus, in our primitive minds, it stands to reason why we have the stomach for warsand genocides, torture and killings and untold sufferings in the name of religions andother primitive ideologies, bigotry, ignorance and stupidity, intolerance for each other,greed, famine, starvation and death due to conflict over natural resources. (After all,once we die, we are all going to heaven or a better place!)

But what if we all knew or realized that Paradise is here on earth and that weve all been given a chance at paradise for whatever little time that we have? Would ourattitude and outlook change? Would we be kinder to each other? Would we look ateach day as a precious gift? Would we do everything in the world that we can in orderto make this life that we now have as wonderful, joyful and pleasurable as it can

possibly be, for not only ourselves but for all of mankind?

Would we finally admit that we all belong to one race-the human race-and that we areall members of one big huge family? Would we get rid of national borders? Would weget rid of all weapons that are intended to annihilate the human race and pollute ourenvironment for thousands of years? Would we stop believing, and reinforcingthrough our own actions, the stereotype that we humans are nothing but wild and

primitive beasts, thus unable to live in relative peace and harmony with each other?Would we stop using religion as an excuse to divide and butcher each other? Wouldwe stop trying to spread our religion while being free to believe whatever we want to

believe that make us kind, happy, loving and caring human beings?

Would we stop imposing on other nations sanctions that can only harm our innocentdistant cousins? Would we fi nally admit that war itself is a crime against humanityand stop deluding ourselves with such nonsensical and idiotic words as war crimes?Would we forever renounce wars and make the idea of war so repugnant and primitivethat just the mention of the word would send chills down our spines? Would we stop

believing that this is a fucked up world that we live in, that might makes right andthat there is nothing we can do about it, and that anyone who believes otherwise iseither naive, a fool, smoking too much dope, or living in nirvana or la la land?

And last but not least, would we take time to rebuild Paradise here on earth? Myanswer to all of the foregoing questions is yes. In fact, its indeed time for us to helprebuild Paradise here on earth. This change in structural thinking is necessary in order


23/27

for us to change the status quo and rebuild paradise or else we will continue to dowhat we've doing since we crawled out of the ocean.

A World Without Borders. The land we occupy belongs to us all. Mother Naturenever intended for us to create artificial borders that serve to divide and isolate us (andour problems) from each other. Wherever there are open borders, prosperity aboundsand people learn to live in peace and harmony with each other (relatively speaking).

For example, lets take the European Union. Who would have thought in a millionyears that Europe would one day have open borders and passport-less travel between28 independent countries of over 500+ million people, especially considering the factthat, not too long ago, two world wars originated from that continent due to lingeringfratricidal rivalries and enmities going back thousands of years.

Who would have ever believed that West Germany would one day reunite with EastGermany, and that the leaders of France, England and Germany would one day sitnext to each other in a European Parliament under the banner of a European Unionflag? This just goes to show you that nothing is impossible and no dream or idea is toofar-fetched when we are willing to make history instead of being burdened by history.My favorite maxim is: Dont be burdened by history, make history!

I can imagine the nay-sayers and fear-soaked sponges who fear that the economicallyaffluent and advanced countries would find themselves flooded with poor people fromneighboring countries seeking a better life for their families. Some would object on

grounds that their country would lose its cultural heritage or religious identity, etc.Well, Europe has proven that not to be the case. These objections and fears are allindicative of the structural thinking of inherently primitive minds.

Most people, even some of the poorest, only seek to provide for their families and arenot really interested in uprooting their entire family in order to go to another country.The ones that do only do so out of practicality. Were it not the case, after the fall ofthe Berlin Wall, the entire population of East Germany would have relocated to themore affluent West Germany. Here in the United States, our fellow brethren from therural communities and Appalachian area would have flooded the more affluent

communities and states in search of a better life. But as we all know here in the US,this is definitely not the case.

When you combine open borders with off -the-grid distributed power generationtechnology, an exponential increase in broadband speed, and the introduction ofVirtual Residential Communities (VRCs), Virtual Corporate Communities (VCCs),Virtual Campus Dormitories (VCDs), Virtual Community College Campuses


24/27

(VCCC), Virtual College Campuses (VCC), Virtual University Campuses(VUC) deep inside every nook and cranny on the planet, corporations from all overthe world will be scrambling for the nearest location they can find to set up shop in inorder to bring opportunities to a highly educated and sophisticated workforce with21st century skills. No longer will a first-class education and economic opportunities

be confined to geography, the affluent and well-to-do. Of course, this can only bemade possible with the proliferation of the virtual organization management disciplineand virtual organizations.

Equitable Compensation and Benefits Around the Globe. As well, workers at aremote Virtual Residential Community or Virtual Corporate Community in a remote

picturesque area of the Amazon forest doing the same type of work as theircounterparts at a high-rise in Manhattan, London, or Paris will earn the exact samecompensation and benefits. Likewise, corporations from all over the world will have anew and sophisticated base of affluent and prosperous new buyers for their productsand services. Everybody Wins! That is what I call Mutually Assured Prosperity.

Economic exploitation and market manipulation which allow a few rich and super-rich to get richer at the expense of a stagnant or declining income workforce will

become rarer and rarer. Mutually Assured Prosperity will be part of the newstructural thinking for policy -makers, government and corporate leadersworldwide.

Eventual Elimination of Juvenile Detention Facilities, County Jails, State

Prisons, Federal Penitentiaries. When society--meaning all of us-- fails, were leftwith no choice but to assign blame to the perpetrator of a very serious crime and prescribe to them lengthy sentences behind bars or capital punishment. The idea is,and has always been throughout the ages, to inflict punishment and not to rehabilitatecriminals. This, in turn, results in a negative feedback loop which will never result in a

positive outcome for either the individual, the aggrieved party(ies), or society atlarge.

Although this structural thinking is extremely primitive and almost as old as timeitself, and in spite of all the astounding technological advances weve made over the

millennia since we crawled out of the ocean, mankind is nowhere near to coming upwith a solution to the most perplexing question and puzzle in the entire history ofmankind, which is, How does society deal with its rejects and how do es it protectitself from the most severe of offenders (the serial killers, murderers, psychopaths andsociopaths, etc.) who prey on others until theyre finally stopped?"


25/27

The reason that the answer to this question continues to elude us is because there willnever be an answer. Its akin to asking the following question: If the rain falls on a

bucket I am unable to move and I have neither a way of diverting the rain nor any sortof cover to place on the bucket, how can I stop the rain from falling inside the

bucket?

Well, rain falls and we have no way of stopping the rain. However, it is in our powerto move the bucket, to divert the rain, and to make a cover for the bucket. Oncesociety believes that it lacks such capabilities, then the only option that it is left with isto throw away the dirty water full of grime, algae, mosquito larvae, and tadpoleswhich have accumulated in the bucket over a period of time. In essence, this is whatsociety has been doing over the ages and that is why we need to make a change in ourstructural thinking regarding crime and punishment.

Once we make that change in our structural thinking, although this may take quitesome time for society to eventually come to that realization, no less than a minimumof at least 100 years, I predict that, one day, The New Virtual Organization Worldwill have no need for putting human beings behind bars like animals in cages. Ourfocus will be on harnessing our energies so we can move the bucket, divert the rain,and to make a cover for the bucket.

The virtual organization management discipline is the catalyst for this change in ourstructural thinking and I will be devoting more time on this subject through theactivities of VOMI Global Think Tank and Advisory Board .

To help make the new virtual organization world a reality, I welcome you to join meas a Board Member or Global Ambassador on the VOMI Global Think Tank andAdvisory Board .

In Conclusion

This vision I have of The New Virtual Organization World is not about one man,one company, another social network, a business cycle, an investment opportunitywith an IPO or exit strategy, or developing a personality cult following.

Instead its all about you and I and the kind of world that we want to, can and arewilling to forge now and in the future for our parents, spouses, siblings, children,grandchildren, great-grandchildren and the rest of our progeniture; for our friends,neighbors, colleagues and associates; for our government, organization, employer,employees, and business partners; and for our environment and all of mankind.

26/27

The road we embark on today will be traveled by the rest of mankind long after weveleft this earth and gone to the next life, and have become nothing but distant memoriesand footnote s in history. We will only be known as a small band of pioneers who notonly dared to dream about this new virtual organization world, but also decided toforge ahead to help make it happen, all because we knew that it was within our powerto do so.

You will notice that my vision for The New Virtual Organization World covers alength of time which stretches anywhere from now to 20 years, 100 years, 200 years,all the way to about 2000+ years. In some cases, I am unable to even estimate a time

period sin ce our structural thinking (including that of human ancestors) hasntchanged much over the past 7 million years.

I am, however, a hopeless optimist who believes that the new virtual organizationworld era that I am so passionate about is truly within our reach. After all, it wasntthat long ago during the 1800s, when nearly all rulers and ordinary people reallyscoffed at this insane and ludicrous concept of a representative democracy. And yettoday, within a very short span of 200+ years, most nations around the world, at thevery least, go through the motion of paying lip service to that concept and pretend tohave some semblance of representative democracy. Therefore, I can reasonably expectthat, besides the true virtual organization believers, most organizations will, within atime span of 200+ years, at the very least, go through the motion and pretend to have asemblance of virtual organizations.

So, Where Do We Go From Here?

You have several options:

The quickest and most direct way of introducing yourself to The New VirtualOrganization World is to obtain--available only through your employer ororganization--your Virtual Organization Aptitude Assessment score. Thereon, wellwelcome you into The New Virtual Organization World and begin to forge the newroad ahead.

If you are a mid-to-senior level human resources or recruitment executive in amedium size-to-large organization, you can also become our Official VOR CorporateAmbassador in your organization. (If your organization falls within the small

business category, you are also w elcome to throw your hat in the ring if you sochoose.)
