A lot has happened since the first coworking space was founded in San Francisco in 2006: there are now thousands of them worldwide Coworking spaces. A current global study shows: The Working world appears to be undergoing fundamental change. Or is the trend just hype?
The Global Coworking Survey was created in February 2013 by Deskwanted.com. Not only because I was quoted as an expert in the press release of the study, I found this study interesting
Because Deskwanted is a global one Network of coworking spaces and shared offices. People can stay here for a short or long term Workplace on the whole Welt find. In addition to a search and booking system, Deskwanted also offers a web-based management tool for managing workplaces.
Deskwanted therefore largely obtained the data from the first Hand: They come from their own booking system, as well as from social media and news articles. Coworking spaces that offer flexible memberships were counted.
Not counted were companies or individuals who offer vacant space or seminar rooms. The data of the survey publishes Deskwanted.com under a Creative Commons license
An overview of the study:
It all sounds great - but I'm a little skeptical. It is true - as I am also quoted in the press release - that the general trend is towards changeable employment biographies and especially for Boy Companys the order situation is often still too uncertain to get an expensive one Office for rent or fixed Employees set. And of course it sounds logical, coworking as flexible Alternatives compared to conventional office work.
But if I now look at the coworking spaces that I have been scrutinizing worldwide for years, then it becomes clear: whether in New Zealand, Canada, Latvia or France, I have always observed that coworking spaces were founded because the owners , usually freelancers, the blanket on the home Head had fallen.
Not a single coworking space owner gave me the key idea of being more productive with others or needing more inspiration. These aspects usually only crystallized over time, or they were mainly one from the start Marketing-argument to customers to attract
I suppose now simply that the common, more productive work is not the ultimate purpose of these collaborative forms of work. For many, it's just about being with others. And that raises the question: Is co-working perhaps just a hype that comes to a standstill after some time - for example, because people prefer solid office space and forms of work?
