THE END OBJECTIVE OF THE NWO
½ by 2 by 3 Rule
- ½ as many people on the payroll
- Paid twice as well
- Producing three times as much
Charles Handy, The Coming Work Culture
LEARS, Jan 1991, Vol. 3, #1
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
- ANYTHING CAN BE MADE ANYWHERE
- Where it’s cheapest
- AND SOLD EVERYWHERE
- Where it gets the highest price
- This is great for individual companies
- Not necessarily good news for individual nations and some workers
HUMAN CAPITAL CHANGES THE RULES
- Unlike equipment or money, human capital cannot be owned by management
- Unhappy Assets Can Leave The Company
- An Educated Workforce
- Needed To Attract And Keep Brainpower Industries In Any Country
THIS REQUIRES COMPULSORY PUBLIC EDUCATION
- THE CHOICES FOR THE SOCIETY
- More investment in education, or occupational training
- More investment in welfare in police in prisons
Mastering the New Work Order
1. ATTITUDES MUST CHANGE
2. JOB SEARCH SKILLS COME FIRST
BEST WAY TO GET A JOB
- Give away your time
- Better to go out and work for nothing
- Than to stay home doing nothing
3. DEVELOP JOB CREATION SKILLS
4. No More Lifetime Employment
GOOD WORK + CROSS TRAINING + CONTINUOUS EDUCATION = LIFETIME EMPLOYABILITY
5. Work Units Must Change From Departments to Teams
6. The Ascension of Women in the Workplace
- At primary and secondary school girls are out performing boys worldwide
- Boys are more likely to be held back or drop out while girls stay in school longer
- Females have vaulted the University gap
- 71.4% graduates November 97
7. Jobs Change from Simple Tasks to Multi-Dimensional Work
8. Job Preparation Change From Training to Education
9. Special Behavioral Skills needed For the New Work Order

- PEOPLE SKILLS
- INTEGRATIVE SKILLS

12. Temporary Workers Become Permanent Fixture

- Full partnership with the social environment
17. The Role of the Union must be redefined
18. MANAGEMENT
- Must also change Become a learning environment
19. Managers Change - From Supervisors to Coaches

- Old Order bosses design and allocate work, supervise, check, monitor and control
- Teams do these things for themselves
- Mentors look out for long term career development
20. MIDDLE MANAGEMENT HAS A NEW ROLE
- From Defending What Use To Be To Encouraging What Should and Can Be
21. Organizational Structure Changes- from Hierarchical to Flat
