I like Barcamps. In particular, of course, I like the PM Camp. After all, I was part of those who first initiated it. However, there are others, too – for example the OpenUpCamp. At one time, I also attended one of those. Now I found a very special Barcamp – and I will also attend it. It is the EnjoyWorkCamp.
Franziska Köppe is the founder of the EnjoyWorkCamp. This year, it will be held between November, 14th and 15th in Stuttgart. Here is what Franziska writes about it:
Where you find joy, enthusiasm and conviction, you will almost automatically get success. We all long to do something meaningful. As entrepreneurs, we strive at being economically successful, socially responsible and honourable. We want to preserve both our environment and nature. In our daily work, there are always small and big changes which sometimes have immense consequences for us and our surroundings. It is all not quite as easy as it looks. After all, there are many questions:
- How high is our own value and how can we build value-oriented offers on it?
- What will self-responsibility of our employees gain us and how to manage good team work?
- Isn’t every company and every employment a rat race?
- How to design an environment where people enjoy working?
- What tools, architecture, infra-structure, mobility, processes, culture… would be suitable?
- How can I promote common well-being in my personal surroundings?
- How to create space for myself (time and money) in order to be able to actively shape the future?
How often did we attend a conference in order to get answers to just those questions, and then the answers were found during the coffee break discussions?
So far Franziska. I will go there because I assume that the EnjoyWorkCamp – just like the PM Camp – will offer a chance to exchange of experience at eye-level. I look forward to discussing solutions around social, economic and ecologic aspects of future-oriented business models with entrepreneurs and leaders of small, medium-sized and also big enterprises.
For me, it is important that the program will be shaped by the participants themselves – which means that I can also take care of my own needs. And, in particular, I look forward to again meeting some very good friends who have already registered. Together, we want to start getting active and support each other.

The vision of EnjoyWorkCamp is:
Common welfare, the quality of life and how to enjoy your work!
Well, this is another reason for me to attend.
