I've found myself thinking about creative organisations again recently - the possibilities, dynamics and challenges of agencies and like-minded businesses. No conclusions yet. No beginnings either really. But I think part of my renewed interest is that a lot of what was theoretical 10 years ago is now starting to be real - it's actual stuff that has to be dealt with today. A case in point is this fantastic article about the number of films being made and entered for film festivals each year - 50,000. (And that might be in the US alone, I'm not sure.)
Who knows exactly what this will mean for businesses that make a lot of money from making films, but it has to mean something, surely. The context isn't changing, it's changed.
I'm collecting more examples of these changed contexts, I suspect they'll add up to something.
