I wonder if more businesses running a traditional office setup will be open to the idea of telecommuting and coworking, as it can be more productive when properly utilized. I guess, as the future of work changes, so will work spaces.. and collab spaces can inspire creativity at work, no doubt. I’m excited to see more of these spaces sprout not only in the metro.

I think King makes a lot of great points in this piece. I have noticed the shift with the new and old guard but that doesn’t mean the intention behind the movement is any different. NextSpace and Parisoma are cited as some new models, but I consider them coworking just as much as IndyHall and OfficeNomads. I bet the members wouldn’t really be able to tell the difference as well, which is a good thing.

It’s the newer models based on Regus and ‘flex space’ that scares the movement because they aren’t as focused on the relationship between members.

In determining the definition of coworking and the ranges of its form I think the communication and actions of building community will be a main focus in the future.
