Companies in the future will have two key assets to manage–their technological infrastructure and their human capital–with an increasing overlap between the two. We are all familiar with Cloud Computing–the ability to share, store, and deliver computing services over the Internet in real-time. In the future, the concept of the cloud will jump from software to “wetware,” resulting in open-source talent sharing that will in effect create a “People Cloud.”

The essence of the People Cloud is rooted in the emerging pattern of work becoming more social.
