If businesses were run by eight-year-olds

January 22nd, 2009

I recently read an article about the youngest IT professional, an eight-year-old gifted boy in Macedonia. Equally intrigued and alarmed, I started to wonder what today’s workplace would be like surrounded by eight-year-old colleagues and here are a few of the possibilities I came up with:

  • Business applications would be simple, intuitive and colorful
  • Anything that takes longer than one minute to describe is too complicated
  • Typical work day = two hours work, snack, music/recess, lunch, nap, work, bell rings and everyone goes home
  • Everyone would know exactly where the others stood – kids call it like they see it
  • Mandatory snack breaks
  • Ideas that aren’t fun – get dumped
  • Press releases would start with – Knock Knock
  • Everything would be web-based – kids can’t sit in one place for too long
  • Innovation would take off because kids always move onto the next thing
  • Brainstorms take place on the playground


On second thought, this is starting to sound refreshing…
