Description

The majority of the 10 million jobs created since 2005 have been freelance, temporary, or on-call opportunities. This is the gig economy – and a team at Stanford are developing a platform to source teams of freelancers in mere minutes.  On today's episode, we discuss Stanford's 'flash organization' software, how it works, and what it means for the future of freelancing.  --- Topic via https://thehustle.co/ Sarah Kessler at The Quartz: https://qz.com/1027606/forget-the-on-demand-worker-stanford-researchers-built-an-entire-on-demand-organization/ Noam Scheiber at The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/12/business/economy/flash-organizations-labor.html Taylor Kubota at Stanford News: http://news.stanford.edu/2017/05/10/software-creates-demand-flash-organizations/
