  • The Ad Agency Model Evolves, Enter #Coworking

    Coworking began mostly in coffee shops. Then it migrated into coworking spaces. Eventually, WeWork happened, building immense awareness for the coworking model in greater society.

    Conjunctured, Austin’s first coworking space and one of the original coworking spaces in the world, will be closing its doors at the end of August.

  • Far Beyond the Cubicle

    By Drew Jones On Thursday of last week I was fortunate enough to participate in a panel discussion about the future of work and corporate coworking at Workspring in Chicago.

    Standing at the Crossroads! There is something about Austin, Texas, and there is something about Conjunctured, though I’m still not sure what that something is.  However, here we are, and both Austin and Conjunctured sit as crossroads for people in local, national, and global communities.  Not a week goes by here at Conjunctured when someone […]

  • Employee Experience Design: Corporate Coworking, Part V

    Over the past two weeks we have been writing about our new foray into corporate coworking.  We’ve been chatting about leadership and community, which sit at the center of any organization or social movement.  When we move the conversation from coworking in its native environment to coworking in a corporate environment (or Activity Based Work), […]

  • Co-mmunity: Corporate Coworking Part, IV

    Earlier in the week I wrote here about the concept of co-leadership as part of the social dynamic that has made coworking a successful movement over the past seven years.  Even more fundamental to the movement, though, is community.  While perhaps the notion of community has been so overused by so many people in the […]

  • Co-Leadership: Corporate Coworking, Part III

    Co-Leadership is the third installment in our series on ‘corporate coworking.’  In Part I we introduce the notion of corporate coworking to a broader audience.  We have been kicking this around for a while, and apparently so have others in the world of HR (see John Sullivan’s parallel but rather different take on corporate coworking […]
