Schuyler Vorster, founder and director of the IC | IC, says that the global increase in the demand for shared office spaces has much to do with the coworking business model which is based on the importance of community, innovation, and providing ways for businesses to run leaner.
What is Schuyler Vorster, LIFE-MISSION in one sentence? | To look after others so that I can look after my family and myself.
