It was a great start to the Leicester Creative Coffee Club at the Graduate Bar of De Montfort University. I’d invited my colleagues Maxine Aldred and Karl Craig-West from the Federation of Small Businesses along and we had a great chat with Sue Thomas, Shani Lee and Toby Moores as to how we could engage [...]
Not exactly soft, since around 30 people came! Creative businesses and creative academics mixing it up and sharing bright ideas.

You filter those ideas aggressively to [...]

I met Toby Moores last year at Office 2.0, and we discussed the creative collaboration work he was doing at DeMontfort University in Leicester. Over the last year, we’ve kept in touch, and I recruited him to participate in a panel at this year’s Office 2.0 conference on “Culture and Collaboration,” on how to unleash [...]
Well. That was fun.
David, Toby and I met for breakfast. Ostensibly to plan the event. In fact, Toby cleverly sent me off on a wild goose chase thereby stopping me making too many ‘organisational’ suggestions. Those that I did make were totally ignored.
