This document discusses the evolution of human civilization and organizations over time. It identifies four main phases of civilization: hunting and gathering, agriculture and breeding, industry and commerce, and creation and communication. For organizations, it proposes that they have similarly evolved through four vectors: culture, management, structure, and process. The document provides tools and methods for organizations to assess where they are in this evolution and how to transform themselves to thrive in the current creation and communication age.
