Zero Space- Moving Beyond Organizational Limits Deprez 1st edition

Zero Space defines a business model in which an organization achieves success without owning assets or needing management, by being, in the authors' words, ""all brains and no body."" In a zero space organization, knowledge is the only true currency, and people are the business's assets and its investors in future success.

Through eight new organizational principles the authors illustrate how ""zero-mindedness"" is essential for the new economy. Just as organizations will have to exist in less tangible, less prescribed forms, so will thinking have to become less departmentalized, less closely guarded. This new open-mindedness or ""zero mind-set"" targets knowledge so that an organization applies it when and where it is really needed.
