What I’ll be talking about.

The nature of teams.

The importance of proximity.

The value of intensity.

Why I’m talking about it.

Good, fast, cheap.

‘It pays to be picky about the people
we work with, establish clear roles for
each other - a structure that
encourages cooperation and respect
for improvisation to ﬂourish.’
Hannah Donovan

‘No matter how organic an approach
you have to building things, there need
to be some rules decided on that
everyone is respectful of, and it needs
to be within a larger holistic vision of
how those pieces are going to function
- otherwise it will just be a cacophony
of sounds’
Hannah Donovan

‘Music is the space between
the notes. It’s not the notes you
play; it’s the notes you don’t’.
Miles Davis

S. is 37 and had been homeless for some time. She
found charitable help and now lives in a bedsit. She
has a daughter who can no longer live with her.
She has never owned a computer, though a friend
has recently set up a Hotmail account on her behalf.
She does not know how to create a CV and as most
jobs are posted online, she feels unable to keep up.
Now she has found a home and is starting to rebuild
her life she feels it’s time to learn the skills she needs
to ﬁnd a job.

D. is 19 and is currently homeless and has been
since his care home ‘refused care’ of him. He sleeps
on friends’ sofas but manages to attend college. He
has had problems with drug use in the past and has
been in prison for shop lifting and assault.
He is bi-polar which affects his conﬁdence very
much. He avoids social networking sites as in the
past his peers have been abusive towards him. He
does have limited experience of the internet, but
can't afford a computer so relies on friends if he
needs to get online.

Final thoughts.
