This issue is about using open-ended roles with negotiated joining to build organisations that are unfrozen from the start, and good at uncertainty work that isn’t well-understood yet, where rules and operating environments are always changing and being disrupted. (And other links and requests!)
Looking back at my career, I can see that my roles always shifted. I'd be hired for problem A that I was demonstrably good at solving. Then 6 months later problem A was sorted, so I'd be moved onto problem B, C and D. I wasn't always good at solving those ... but was gifted with the opportunity to learn a lot, fast. Or sometimes to make a mess first and then learn :D
