  • Guest Post: Thoughts on Corporate Coworking

    The following is a guest post from Dennis Tardan, an outspoken and passionate member of the Conjunctured community.

Thank you Dennis!  I…

  • Activity Based Work

    Veldhoen + Company, the Dutch workplace consultancy that pioneered Activity Based Work, is one of the most important companies you’ve never heard of.  ABW is, essentially, mass scale corporate coworking.

  • At the Crossroads

    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…

  • Designing Culture? Corporate Coworking, Part II

    Within the past week we have begun sharing our vision for how we want to extend the coworking experience ‘beyond coworking.’  What we are calling corporate coworking is elsewhere referred to as Activity Based Work (ABW), but it is really more than that.  At the heart of this is culture.  Our growing passion is to…
