At TomorrowToday, we believe in a Bionic future – where technology augments human work, rather than automates or replaces it. But, if there are jobs that could (and maybe even should) be removed from corporates, it’s middle management.
BCG has a wonderful “Imagine If…” series, and here’s one about the end of middle managers.
