Productivity 3.0
If you have been in one of my cloud talks you know that one of my predictions is Productivity 3.0. Basically through tools like elance, rent-a-coder, and ad-hoc teams build in and through coworking locations workers will work for multiple companies on a per project basis. This will lead to people managing their time more efficiently and thus becoming more productive.
This just got validated by the McKinsey Global Institute (see Slate):
"Jobs today are also becoming more "virtual" -- with broadband connections, cloud computing, and other technology, many interaction jobs can be conducted "anytime, anywhere," making it possible for employers to engage talent (full-time employees or contract workers) on an as-needed basis."
