"Angel, I'm intrigued to hear about how required social events go for
you - I'm pretty sure that wouldn't go over very well at our office,
but I am often wrong. :)"
---Oh geez, none of our functions or events are mandatory. That would
send the members running for the hills!

Hi all,
I'd chime in briefly to add a big-picture way to think about it, as we do
here at Office Nomads in Seattle. Often I refer to our space in a variety of
different ways as a platform. In this case, we do try to be a platform on
which collaboration can happen. As others have said, we ensure th

Thilo is on the money, and I like to look at it from an 'environmental'
perspective. Not like the earth's environment, but what in terms of how you
can influence behavior by changing the variables of the environment.

Hi Wilson,
