Coworking is an emerging trend that redefines the 21st century working surroundings.  It blends the best of both worlds: work from home yet enjoy the social workplace sense and the casual friendly coffee-shop environment.

The social economy requires the coming together of ‘unlikely allies’ – a disruptive social entrepreneur and reformed venture capitalist.  By relentlessly pursuing a common goal, we can overcome the traditional boundaries that divide us.  We can fuse together ideas that generate in accordance with the cycles that govern our planet.



Bay Area – co-working sites up and running – is one of the hotbeds of the movement.  “We definitely have a stronger presence,” said Steve King of Emergent Research in Lafayette, who studied co-working as part of a report on the future of small business. “We have a vibrant personal-business community in the Bay Area. And because it’s very tech- and media-focused, it fits in well with the concepts of co-working. We’re seeing a clear trend to free agents and personal businesses, due to outsourcing, layoffs, and people looking for work-life balance or more work flexibility,” said King. “That’s going to result in more people working on their own either full or part time. Those folks need support. And what’s really cool about co-working is it solves that problem for a very modest amount of money.”

People with innovative ideas for change need access to a ‘just-in-time’ infrastructure, inspiration and support to thrive.  Resources need to be accessible and adaptive while embracing the individual spark that drives the innovator.  Where do you go to find the pragmatic resources and the value-driven community that turns you good idea into action?  You go to OURSpace.
