Open Space & Co-working

[Jo Toepfer]

Hi Stien,

I am pretty sure that passion and responsibility of the people will 
dominate the scene and I wonder if they'd need a theory or concept at all.

A story to share: Once in an open space event three colleagues from 
different countries met for the first time. During the course of the 
three days the guys discovered so many thangs they hold in common that 
they decided to establish a joint company to enhance their co-working. 
They announced it during the closing circle and brought champaign for 
everybody to toast on the success of the newly established 'baby".

Greetings
Jo
