Evolution of SOHO

The biggest perspective of SOHO (Small Office Home Office) Movement is revealed

It is certainly interesting to explore the background, history, current status and possible future development of the SOHO (Small Office Home Office) movement (it can definitely be considered as quiet social movement, particularly in connection with and in the context of the Network Economy). However, our objectives and concerns here are more pragmatic, by concentrating our attention on the following three aspects:

Business / Enterprise Development
Personal / Family Development
Social and Ecosystem Development

These will be discussed in the context of the following five stages / phases of the SOHO movement:

Small Office Home Office (SOHO)
Mobile Office Home Office (MOHO)
Co-Working facilities and services (COWO)
Intentional Community and Co-Housing (COHO)
Cooperation Commons (COCO)

Although the above stages / phases are not necessarily linear and sequential, the listed order could be convenient and useful for discussion purposes, particularly if we are to view these stages / phases in the context of Business Development / Personal Development / Social and Ecosystem Development in line with the Triple Bottom Line (Profit / People / Planet).

In fact, an innovative and fully functional Business Model incorporating the 3-Objectives + 5-Stages would be the biggest and ultimate perspective of the SOHO movement.

This is the SOHOMINIUM ultimate package. Come and join The Kuala Lumpur Entrepreneur Meetup Group on Thursday, 12th June 2008 at 7.30pm to find out more, and file any personal questions you might have on SOHO / MOHO / COWO / COHO / COCO and the related matters such as Biochar etc. etc. All are welcome.
