You mean... Telecommuting??Telecommuting, remote work, or telework is a work arrangement in which employees do not commute to a central place of work.

Many telecommuters work from home, while others, work from coffee shops or other locations.

Approximately "one in five workers around the globe, particularly employees in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, telecommute frequently and nearly 10 percent work from home every day"

Inevitable Evolution...




“If you don’t live in the Silicon Valley, you might not know why so many successful firms like Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Apple start or relocate here. The compelling reason is because of the energy and the competition that exists when so many smart and innovative people work and interact in a relatively small geographic space... Obviously having so many great firms so close together also creates intense wars for talent but that one detrimental factor is more than overcome by the positive value of the competition felt with employees from other firms.

The same can be said for the increased creativity that firms find by locating in major arts and entertainment areas like New York City and Los Angeles. The same increase in innovation and idea-generating can occur using “corporate coworking” when your employees are co-located with strangers from startups and other corporations.”

The global economy demands a style of work that starts with connected, shared work environments and independent activity. Unlike in a typical local office or business, those in this economy are rarely employed by the same organization or found in the same place.

Such work environments foster people who share values, and who are interested in the synergy that can happen when like-minded, talented people work together.


What does that look like?Interconnected work environments fostering global, virtual coworking

Open, accessible, exciting spaces that shine as the hub of science and technology in an local economy

Online tools and software to foster collaboration, innovation, and shared knowledge
