remember when net capacity, head count, was so important, things have definitely changed, you have to think about the impact beyond just how many people you have on the roster
As software & AI eats into Services - many of the employees will resemble gig workers ie lawyers completing the task that's 99% been executed digitally. Super interesting article John - thanks for sharing 🌞
It will be hard for the ex employees to adapt fast to a new way of working, without safety, tones of competition, and no experience as independent professionals.
The corporations would earn leverage, and the different collaborators will be pushed to work even harder.

Appreciate it, Passport, the real strength shows up in how teams coordinate across roles.

I see the same trend, Chris, once software handles the heavy lift, the work looks very different.
Great breakdown as always John! What kind of platforms do you see emerging across the pond that LSEs can tap into for deep expertise?
Thanks, Jonas... I’m seeing more platforms built around verified skills and real project histories.
Makes sense - there's always a risk of fake resumes when hiring contractors, remote or otherwise.
Yes … adding the extra challenges of healthcare into the mix will be an important element to consider.
Strong point, Susan, where are you seeing the biggest strain in healthcare right now?
Reading this felt like watching a city skyline shift over time.
The shapes stay familiar, but the way people work, think, and gather keeps quietly changing beneath the surface.
Through the 5 Voices lens, the future of companies will depend on how well each voice is heard:
Nurturers, shaping cultures that people actually want to stay in.
Guardians, building systems that keep companies steady in a fast world.
Creatives, spotting patterns before they’re obvious.
Connectors, creating the relational glue teams rely on.
Pioneers, charting the direction with courage and clarity.
The companies that tap this full mix will handle change with far more agility than those relying on one dominant voice.
You said it well, James, companies move better when every voice has real space.

Is my assessment wrong/incomplete?
Appreciate this, Jose, the move to independent work carries real pressure many are not ready for.
