Now we have scientific evidence by Margaret Chatham Crofoot and Ian C. Gilby that small groups have a competitive advantage over larger groups. Translated in terms of changing the world: Small groups like coworking spaces or action groups have a competitive advantage over society as a whole in bringing about a change. Here is what […]

Neal Gorenflo of Shareable had a wonderful idea: Introduce a calendar that celebrates dates of citizenship, the commons, and sharing. We feel that this is an excellent addition to the „Open International CoWorking Calendar„. In cooperation with Neal we like to collect your suggestions of which dates we should add. Please comment below and check […]

Inspired by Marit Larsen´s song „If a song could get me you“ and my long-held conviction that coworking and radio can benefit hugely from another I like to ask whether 2012 will see „Coworking Radio“ come alive?

Underneath you find William McDonough´s TED talk in half (for people with little time). The full […]

Following our article of the „Crowd-starting dancer“ I like to present what I believe is part 2 to this story: The dancer or the dancing crowd being inspired by another crowd or dancer. Chris Anderson in his TED Talk below makes a very strong case for „Video Driven Innovation“. One dancer being inspired by the […]

Makespace, Coworking Space in Singapore, opening in January 2012 has joined our campaign. The latest pictures are very promising. Boon Teck Tan writes:“We had to do up our coworking space, quite a bit as it was a pretty old space. We had been able to reuse some of the 20 year old light fixtures and supplement […]
