Select a dimension to discover how it matures through distinct stages of evolution.
The evolution of what we do and how it is valued.
Value is measured in time and standardized output within fixed job roles.
Work is unbundled into discrete projects and tasks. Value is in deliverables, not time.
Value is tied to measurable results and impact, regardless of the hours or methods used.
Value is generated through synergistic ecosystems (human-human, human-AI) focused on solving complex problems and creating new meaning.
