Two, it means that higher ups better understand the flow of value back and forth (thinking of the enterprise landscape- not as important in a startup). But yes, TRUST becomes really important. Think about a Sarbanes-Oxley world's trust. Think about even more stringent requirements in the medical world. How do these digital nomads gain access to be helpful remotely while not compromising the data integrity of an organization? Seems like an opportunity to build out even more transactional relationships, if only for the business operations side of things. With humans, it's always about trusting and forming a relationship. And you asked if you were being a bit utopian. Maybe. But that's not *all* bad. : ) So I think that some of the digitizing and commoditizing and the contract-requirements of having a nomad on staff fall into a few buckets: one, it makes the transaction obvious, with clear beginnings and ends.
