Abstract
It is clear that many process-driven, organisational systems require individuals to use their energies in ways that are antithetical to effective functioning. In consequence, huge resources of human endeavour are continuously wasted in ways that are simply not within the organisation’s observational range of convenience. This chapter explores what a twenty-first century organisation should have at its centre and proposes the beginnings of a design for the future of HR.

At the time of writing it is not known what the organisation will decide, but there is an active long-range policy discussion taking place around the question and the idea is being taken seriously.
