This panel, moderated by Kate Ehrlich and David Tames, discusses peer-to-peer as a disruptive technology, and how it threatens the stability of conventional work structures inside and outside an organization by shifting the balance of power. The notion that the structure of work, not just its execution, can be pushed out to the edges of an organization contradicts the conventional wisdom of the "centralized mindset" and challenges us to think in terms of decentralized systems.
