Bryan D. Eldridge, M.Ed

MESH is built around an open, regenerative culture, empowered by a granular, mesh structure to generate connection, visibility and trust.

To date, traditional work models have focused on centralization, vertically drawn hierarchies, and on-prem/geographic proximity-based workers. In total, these attributes simply are not well-suited for the increasingly remote and gig-based workforce of the 4th Industrial revolution that is unfolding in real-time. To effectively pivot and embrace the potential and flexibility of decentralization, organizations must address questions as they prepare to create a bespoke strategy uniquely suited to their needs.

This book addresses these various questions and more, bolstered by the authors’ collective decades of work in the open community. It will provide an exhaustive framework that is understandable – and more importantly, implementable!
