The digital lifestyle, the feeling of freedom and globalization offer
many new possibilities, ways and methods to work, regardless of place
and time. Coworking spaces become a third place for freelance and
remote workers, a location, in which they aim for company, community
and networking – away from home. The growth and rise of Coworking
spaces and, more recently also Coliving Spaces, recently updated
definitions for terms such as digital nomads and other relevant factors
reflect the significance and its impact for a future oriented and
flexible work- life- situation and lifestyle.
As part of my research for my bachelor thesis “INOVVATIVE ASPECTS OF
COWORKING – lessons learned for structuring the work environment as
part of innovation management” I have reflected various Coworking
arrangements in Berlin, Copenhagen, San Francisco, New York and Los
Angeles and their innovative concepts as well as interviewed over 40
remote workers worldwide to evaluate their explicit needs, wants and
motives.
This issue is highly recommended concerning its impact on topics such
as digitization globalization, flexibility, connectivity, coworking,
knowledge management, innovation management system, future workforce,
human resource policy.
This little infographic displays my research. Hope you enjoy it and I
would love to discuss on further topics, such as innovative aspects
of the future work environment, how innovation, entrepreneurship and
creativity are fostered or how you enhance your employees’ work– life
balance!
