I see Canberra at an exciting and powerful crossroads for the way we work.
If 72% of Australia’s work force are knowledge based workers and 65% of Australia’s GDP is generated from knowledge work, the interiors industry has a unique potential to drive the productivity of a nation from where and how we work.

Your community has a great blend of progressive thinkers combined with the right kind of client base to make a meaningful impact. This is exactly why our team get out of bed every day and come to work!

The greater number of the collaborations (of all THREE kinds) we can facilitate while opening up the untapped potential of our colleagues will unquestionably drive productivity.

Lets make sure we remember that our growing number of career changes, diverse personal interests and growing knowledge base (facilitated by the ease in which we have access to information) is making each of us powerfully varied in our knowledge.  We cant reasonably know when people will be valuable to us.  It is only when they are able to contribute in the “open” style we describe that we can begin to unlock the potential. The proximate location of potential collaborators will enable us to unlock the hidden potential and maximise organisational performance.

With products like Share Pod and the Hush Light (and soon BIP), we can start to deliver intelligent next generation solutions that manage the audibility of conversations and respect the role that focus works has in delivering value.
