There is a greater need to deploy sound business ratios to monitor and improve performance

Many coworking businesses should never get off the ground

Loss-making pricing to win deals is almost always a dumb tactic

Lack of design attention to dedicated desk product areas.

We need to do a better job at nurturing and loving on our front-line staff and community managers
