Simplicity Day is finished for this year and thanks to minimoko it was a success. In first part Harry from minimoko spoke about the power of simplicity and why companies that adopt it  thrive. One of the key advantages is that it eliminates the unnecessary, giving way for clear and usable ideas.

In the second part there were some valuable points raised in regards to creating ideas. De Bono created some practices to help generate ideas, below are a few to consider.

1. Find new ways to see things, turn things upside down.

2. Illimenate the obvious, even to the point of absurdity.

3. Create new pathways of thinking to create more elasticity in your brain.

4. Have a point in the idea generation stage where there is no judgement, just let the flow of ideas go.

5. Create new points of association to break pattern, for example use a random word,colour, or even situation as the starting reference for a brainstorm, if you get stuck.

This is our last internal event, until the 2 of September where will be launching CUBEAGENCY Night, until then have a lovely simple summer.

THECUBE is located in East London and we provide events, talks, coworking space, and virtual offices space services.

1. Do tell your client’s about your great new office space location.

THECUBE coworking space is now offering Virtual Office Space for both its members and to community start-ups. This is a perfect option for enterprises that are not yet ready for offices space or ones that are not based in London.

It is important to give your clients the confidence to use your services and having a London based office is essential to branding. As the world moves towards nomadic work, this is the perfect way to keep organised and in touch with your clients.

Contrarian consultant Alastair Dryburgh will explain how the most primitive part of our brain continues to hold us back and frustrate our efforts to innovate, and how we can defeat it.”
“Why would a bank continue to lend aggressively to leveraged buyouts when it
was clear that the market was overheated and multiples becoming extremely stretched? According to Chuck Prince of Citigroup, ‘As long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance.’

But why? It’s for the same reason that there are twenty wholly
indistinguishable car rental companies at Pisa airport, and Avis have been
trying harder for as long as anyone can remember and are still only number 2.

This will take place in the boardroom meeting space,
