We are thinking of putting on a one-day conference type of deal about WORK.
We just did this awesome thing Inbox Awesome (inboxawesome.org) last week
and it was really good – the future of the inbox, with some really
excellent ideas and people.
So what would WORK AWESOME be?
Something like this:

getting things done, to do and to get lists, project management via Kanban
/ Toyota, MVP minimum viable for products and projects

groupware/collaboration, Basecamp, Beam telepresence, video meetings,
facetime, Confide
*Learning* – Codecademy, 2U, Master Street, Skillshare, the perpetual
learning economy, Everyone Is CEO in the Age of Robot Labor
*Management and managing work* in the “knowledge economy” – e.g., Drucker:

are conscripts”; freelancers in the office, freelancers offfsite e.g. odesk
elance.
*Real estate – *co working and future of “the office” e.g., General
