Inspiring the Future of Work By Unlocking Innovation Through Chaos, Creativity and Collaboration

Through good inspiration and creative ideas, we are able to develop a good strategy. So that, we can easily execute our plans, without proper planning and innovative ideas, we can't get a better recognition. This article describes steps by step about inspiration and collaboration and I am really thankful for such a wonderful article.

This is hilarious, Gangplank is a modern day 21st century management innovation company. Breaking the barriers of creativity, unleashing the talents of people, building organization resiliency by harnessing the natural resilient abilities of each individual employee. Gangplank is on the right track.

Fantastic story - I am co-organizing a group of folks as I write this to launch several Gangplanks in Central Virginia, starting with Henrico, VA (http://www.facebook.com/GPHenrico) - This is a brilliant, game-changing concept that I look forward to driving to make a massive difference.

Kudos to Derek & Jade, and the rest of the Gangplankers. You guys are having a real impact in more ways than one, and I salute you for that. The fact that cities like Chandler (where I live) include "creativity" and "innovation" in their daily language is impressive and a testament to the efforts of the entrepreneurs, artists and innovators that have fostered movements such as Gangplank.

Well done!

Gangplank is what I've been looking for in the way of validating the management theories of reinventing systems thinking. Speaking from the perspective of engaging community to build entrepreneurial environments and create enthusiasm, Gangplank's model is an excellent approach to achieving several goals at once.

Thanks to openness, collaboration, and chaos - Tucson has the opportunity to grow a creative and thriving community space in our town under the Gangplank banner. It has been a privilege to be involved in the early steps for Gangplank in the Old Pueblo. Thanks to Derek, Jade, Katie, Scott Henderson, Jacki Kuder, and Bookman's Entertainment Exchange.

Gangplank is not only changing the game in Arizona. I first learned about Gangplank because they hosted a "Scrum Beyond Software" open space which brought leaders from around the country who are changing the world of work - including management - through the use of the Scrum management methodology. Then seeing what astounding things they were doing at Gangplank has inspired what can be possible by changing the very concept of a company and dissolving the organizational boundaries can actually create more collaborative engagements and yes, also start new companies. We hope we can take what they've done in Arizona - and now also in Salt Lake City, and bring it to Missoula, Montana. Thank you Gangplank!

I've been fortunate to be part of Gangplank for nearly three years now as it has grown from an interesting experiment to something that is fundamentally changing lives, companies, and the overall community for the better. It is a crossroads and catalyst to bring out the best in people and a foundation for everyone to build upon together. Derek and Jade have created something truly unique and wonderful.

GangplankHQ was the first of the "innovative centers" for the state. This team shares a "what can we do to help" mentality to help the little guys get started and get their ideas and businesses going. Social Media is not just about the electronic end of the internet spectrum, it is the example these game changers have brought to human relationships.

Gangplank has transformed Phoenix. When Gangplank was initially founded, there was nothing similar going on in the state. Thanks to the connectivity and innovation that it fostered, those same ideas can now be seen in other collaborative workspaces throughout the valley. Gangplank has always been the innovator in raising Phoenix up through its creative class and continues to push the envelope.

Gangplank and its collaborative workspace will allow Avondale and the West Valley to foster its creative individuals and grow our small businesses all while injecting new thoughts and ideas into our community and schools. I really look forward to working with Gangplank and its anchors to grow Gangplank Avondale!

Gangplank is amazing! It's where the most brilliant minds and creative individuals in our whole area to get together to work, create, and support others. I am thrilled and humbled to be able to work here!

My company (TMC Interactive) would not be where it is today without Gangplank. Over the last year, I have forged business and personal relationships that have been built on very simple principles: Collaboration Over Competition and Treat One Another As You Wish To Be Treated.

Personally, Gangplank is a cornerstone of my professional, personal and civic life.

Gangplank is a pretty amazing place to work out of. Everyone there seems driven to help eachother to succeed. Seems like there are always events going on that tie into the community and a good mix of people show up to those events. I would bet that there isn't an organization in Arizona that is more likely to influence the future of the tech community in the state.

It's been my pleasure to be a part of Gangplank for the past year. I knew I wanted to work for an organization that was forward-thinking, community-minded, but also willing to step on toes in the name of progress. We've seen our community step up to every challenge and have changed many lives by providing support for people to take risks. It's been a rough road, but other organizations are finally starting to realize the impact this model can have and beating down our door to bring it into their space.

I've been working out of Gangplank for about a year now and I'm still amazed by all of the great things that happen in this space. When you have this density of smart people and great ideas, innovation is a natural outcome.

I was introduced to Gangplank earlier this year. After attending a social media lecture, hosted by Gangplank, I gained amazing social media tips and connections that transformed how my org does social media. Gankplank's eagerness to be involved made this success possible. This space is valuable to the community and a wonderful place to network with fellow creatives.

Gangplank is a gift to entrepreneurship in Arizona.

I was intrigued by Gangplank since I first heard of it. I'd been heading down here on occasion over the years and learned much and made great contacts. When we had an opportunity to sell the beautiful office condo that we owned, we jumped at the chance to move the company down here to Gangplank. Since then, we've learned a ton, helped do good and radically improved our business.

I've worked here a few times, and with lots of the people. You can't go anywhere in AZ nowadays without someone referencing Gangplank. Good people who work hard.

I work out of here occasionally, and hold events every few weeks at night. Gangplank has given innovators a home that Phoenix has never had before.

My company works out of this space as well, and we definitely wouldn't be where we are without it!!

My company has been working out of Gangplank for a few years now, and I can vouch for the fact that this really is a remarkable, transformative environment for economic growth. I've never seen anything like it.

As a participant (and founder) of Gangplank, it is truly a gamechanger. We have seen many amazing things take shape in the Phoenix metro area since the inception of Gangplank. Bringing smart people together, dreaming big, and focusing on how to build the new economy is such an awe-inspiring thing to be involved in.
