collaboration and cooperation

I received this video from a container design/build firm up in Canada that I recently discovered.  What amazes me is, this video was filmed in 2005 and this idea of collaboration and cooperation, at least to me, is only now beginning it’s infancy.

For the last couple of weeks, and in my previous blog post, I’ve been talking about this new idea of co-working where small business peoples can share ideas and pool their resources for everyone’s benefit.  This video has put the frosting on the cake for me.  There can be no real long term sustained success in business, especially in the climate of our current economic roller coaster that we find ourselves sitting in, without collaboration and cooperation within and across disciplines.
