Coworking Lets Things Happen

Do yourself a favor and watch these two videos ASAP:

Steven Johnson explains, quite succinctly and with historic reference, a lot of the theses we’ve built Indy Hall upon over the last 3+ years and generally why environments like coworking spaces and coworking communities are such powerful engines for true innovation.

The ADD version:

It’s not about any one individual “idea” or moment, or even incentivizing collaboration, but instead about creating opportunities for smaller, half-baked ideas to bump into each other and serendipitously realize that they are each others’ missing pieces.

So STOP trying to make innovation happen, and let it happen.

    Saw the first one yesterday and I was thinking the same thing; he’s talking about coworking!

    “The Rise of Collaborative Consumption” also feels a lot like coworking. Actually it’s a great example that they are missing.
