A distributed organisation is best controlled centrally, and from the place with the best view of the big picture: the top. All relevant information can be articulated as data — you know: “[[Signal-to-noise ratio|In God we trust, all others must bring data]]” — and, with enough data everything about the organisation’s present can be known and its future extrapolated. The organisation’s permanent infrastructure should be honed down and dedicated to  its core business, and its peripheral activity — operations, personnel, legal and ''~ cough ~'' strategic management advice — outsourced to specialist providers of administrative services which can be scaled up or down to meet requirements or switched out altogether.
