Craft Brewing is one of the industries we've studied and it does share a lot of attributes with coworking. So does the food truck industry and most other early stage industries we've looked at over the past decade.
The common features across these nascent industries is they tend to be much more open, collaboration and cooperative than traditional industries. But we're starting to see the same attributes becoming more common in the traditional industries. A great example of the broader shift is the recent move by Square and Intuit to cooperate - at least one level - in the payments space. These two companies had been,and will continue to be, highly competitive with one another. But both realized the benefits of linking Square's payment system to Intuit's Quckbooks accounting system. Even just a few years ago I don't think I could have pointed to many examples like Intuit and Square. Today there are a lot. I think the rest of the world is starting to catch up with coworking in embracing these concepts. I also think coworking has had an impact in terms of showing the world alternative ways to work. So kudos to you guys and gals! -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
