Coworking’s Core Values

Coworking… fad? trend? movement? scene?

As a movement grows it’s easy to lose sight of the values that shaped the creation of that movement.

According to its founders, coworking is built on five values: collaboration, openness, community, accessibility, and sustainability. These values are articulated and documented on the Citizen Space site on a page titled Our Philosophy.

NotAnMBA isn’t about coworking per se, however I’m in for these values. They’re important because all five values should be core values in the business world. I think all five should be taught in business school.

Google tells me there are only four(!) pages linking to the page on coworking values. Now there are five pages.

[2/23/2008] There are still only four pages.  Google, what is taking so long?
