Under the heading of nothing new under the sun This new Dutch invention sounds almost exactly like a similar facility/organization which a bunch of Swedes did in the 90s in Stockholm. Worked then, should work now.

They set up a network of business centers that offer physical coworking, office and meeting spaces. They describe their business model as a serendipity machine in a booklet you can download here http://theserendipitymachine.com/ What is amazing is that they host freely coworkers (including wifi, coffee and food). IN exchange they ask them to share their knowledges and skills with others. They do this using a software platform they call "the third" space. Even if they never quoted open space their approach is really tuned with it. And I think that Open Space can be also considered to some extent as a serendipity machine, a "third" space that opens to unexpected conversations and knowledge exchange. all the best from Milan ge Gerardo de Luzenberger Mob: +39 3293281343 Tel: +39 02 89751746 Fax: +39 02 87151318 Skype: gerardodeluz <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/blocked::mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] IAF: Certified Professional Facilitator geniusloci facilitation & development PREMIO IMPRESA INNOVATIVA E CREATIVA DELLA PROVINCIA DI MILANO <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/blocked::http:/www.loci.it/> www.loci.it <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/blocked::mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.flickr.com/photos/geniusloci/> http://www.flickr.com/photos/geniusloci/ Sede legale: Via A.
