Workplace Democracy and Coworking

Today I am north of Toronto in Pie in the Sky Studio working with Tad and the crew filming an eLearning product. It is always amazing to see how brilliant this gang are although you need a significant amount of patience to handle the changes, alterations, and re-takes...hence my midday blogging...

There is an article I wrote on coworking up on the NvestNtech site today. This one captures some of the heart and passion we have behind Indoor Playground. It is more than a business solution but rather on piece of a new way of living and working. It is a rant but I hope it is a little bit of inspiration and hope.

Quality Analysis Today at Creationstep we launched QA Room, our new company focused on software testing. This is something we have been looking forward to launching for a while so it is a pleasant relief to have the site ready. We always enjoy getting the clients first and website later...The team is fantastic with extensive experience in this field. It is exciting to see some brilliant minds like this come together to share in some new possibilities

New Communities It is an interesting journey for me at the moment. I dropped out of highschool and to work in the family business in 1986. I loved every moment of it but had a crisis in 1991 when I started to reap the financial benefits (see picture). I left the family business in 1992 to pursue the lifestyle of a missionary and did a couple of theology/divinity degrees. I was never much of a man of the cloth but I do have the heart for social change. Throughout the 10 years of youth/missionary work I learned to focus on helping people form communities that could be a support for change in their lives and the world around them. The first technology venture I got my hands into was a platform for community communication (which cost me everything at the time...and tanked). When I connected with my business partner Bobby John and we launched Creationstep, Inc a few years back one of our main areas of focus was to recreate the workplace that can enhance the dignity of each person and their ability to contribute to society in a meaningful way. We vowed this to be our primary focus no matter what...
