From my experience, innovation comes at the end of a chain of events: - Innovation comes from collaboration - Collaboration comes from establishing trust, met with a common goal - Trust is established in casual, social interactions mixed with the ability to experiment with working together on

Hi Lindsey, We've had key-holding members at Office Nomads ever since we opened in 2007, and have never had a security problem (*knocks on wood*). We've never run a security check in that time either. Why are you considering a security check? I'd point you to one of Alex's recent posts on
