Takeaways from this episode
- Businesses don’t want an office, they want a productive workforce.
- #SpaceAsAService is now rapidly moving into the mainstream.
- Knowing who you are as a landlord is vital with #SpaceAsAService
- Successful networks win because they become a safe, comfortable and painless solution to a need. And they grow exponentially; from no-one knowing anything about them to suddenly being known by everyone. But once established, their value grows exponentially as well.
- The days of coming into the office 5 days a week is terminal.
Mostly, real estate companies are optimised for being product/rent collector companies. As they should be. That is what has worked for several decades. Build or buy an asset, lease it, keep it or sell it. And many are very good at that; the concern is that many will forget what they are, and think their slick machine will work in a different world. It won’t.
