Hi Will, some of the data of the 4th GCS has been already analyzed:
http://www.deskmag.com/en/do-coworking-spaces-need-a-coworking-lobby-888 http://www.deskmag.com/en/the-coworking-market-report-forecast-2014 http://prezi.com/nnfgyaucbm1b/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy https://prezi.com/8uepdp7bstfo/the-preliminary-results-of-the-4th-global-coworking-survey/ http://prezi.com/bthfaokhdbtp/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy http://prezi.com/nkpjfawslfbd/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy http://prezi.com/epoe0ogs-wzq/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy however, the analysis couldn't completed yet due to annoying paperwork as result of the insolvency of Deskwanted. Deskwanted lost its "funding", not Deskmag. Both companies have been separated from each other. The investor of Deskwanted agreed to a monthly budget, but didn't transfer this money accordingly, which caused the insolvency of Deskwanted in order to take over the product of Deskwanted (not the company). The investor also wanted to take control of Deskmag unofficially, via Deskwanted and its founders, but it was never, at any point, a part of the investors contract with Deskwanted. Unofficial control means, Deskmag was forced to promote Deskwanted for free by converting it more or less into a Deskwanted Blog. Although the investor put a lot of pressure to do so, I disagreed with it since it never would have a good impact on both Deskmag or Deskwanted. If you are interested, I can write more about it, but's a complex story which unfortunately couldn't be finished yet. In fact, it's still a time-consuming procedure which also had a bad impact on the recent development of Deskmag, it took a lot of time and mental power which was missed to invest into the wider analysis of the Global Coworking Survey etc. It's still on the way, but unfortunately slower. The 5th Global Coworking Survey started with a soft-launch a few days ago on www.coworkingsurvey.com to keep the annual structure of the survey going as promised. It also will be officially more promoted this and next week. The analysis will take more time, but's better than pausing the survey. -- 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.
