Re: [Coworking] Tips for coworking in L.A

2017-02-06 Thread Tony Bacigalupo
Hey Pier!

That's what we're here for :-)

Can you tell us a bit more about your situation? What makes you want to
start a space? What about your project would make it unique and different
from the existing spaces?

PS - I'm planning on being in LA at the end of this month and may put
together a little gathering for community builders in the area. Maybe we
can meet up!

Cheers,
Tony

[Coworking] Article on the sharing economy and experience-based workplace.

2017-02-06 Thread Carolyn Cirillo
Just saw this shared on GCUC's facebook page. It's an article I ghost wrote 
for Knoll on the generationally-powered change in mindset about ownership 
and experience and how it plays out in today's workplace, including 
coworking spaces.

https://workdesign.com/2017/01/plan-new-experience-based-workplace/

Enjoy!

[Coworking] Corporate coworking trend

2017-02-06 Thread Carolyn Cirillo
I'm writing an article about the trend toward corporate employees taking 
desks in existing coworking spaces and/or companies creating their own 
coworking spaces and inviting outside community members.

Would love to hear if your mix of individuals and small companies has 
shifted significantly over the years.

I'm also interested in any other insights you might have about the trend, 
for example:
- what are companies looking for with this strategy: cost-savings? 
innovation? community?
- are there particular industries where this is more prevalent? 
- do corporate members tend to be longer or shorter-term clients compared 
to your average tenure? 
- do they have any unique needs or requirements?

Thanks!

Carolyn Cirillo

[Coworking] Re: What does everyone use for checking users in?

2017-02-06 Thread Mark Gordon
Hi @Bernard, We are in a nearly 2,000,000sf complex, and the base building 
managers defintiely need to be involved for approval when asking to tap 
into base building security, if not for emergency purposes (fire) but also 
security wise on their side. (Making sure no one can gain access to their 
system) The head of building security has had multiple phone conversations 
witth a rep from Kisi and I believe the CEO on our behalf, and they have 
come to the conclusion that its not a  fit. Their base building sysytem 
supports similar phone type access, but just doesnt give us the check in 
capabilities we were looking for.

We have started looking at various wifi check in systems, but teh quotes we 
have so far are out of our budget. (5k+)

I loved it too :-)

Maybe frame a copy of it to put up in your window or a high-traffic area!

Hysterically funny New Yorker article  in the form 
of a 911 call from someone working at home...looking for ideas on how best 
to build on this to increase awareness of coworking as a better choice.
