Space is still important

I was reflecting on a post I did a while back, a long while before the pandemic, the protests, the pivots of 2020/21
My premise was that McKinsey's 7-S's missed space. https://lnkd.in/edn34Cyq

I think today this is even more true.

A friend yesterday said 'we used to work at work (which was often a 'made place for a specific 'company'), now we are working at home, at shared spaces (coffee shops, co-working spaces, or on-demand work places (gig work) ), and 'made places'.. People may jump between these daily or certainly weekly.. How will this change in the future?

Recently I became a member of a creative space in St Paul. Meant for Artists, I joined because I am playing with pottery and wanted a shared studio where i had access to a kiln and wheel. My friend who I met there this week said 'this is better than co-working spaces' this brings together a more wholistic person centric space. One where one can work/play/relax/spiritual be communal or independent, all in one place. This kind of space might be the future of work, post pandemic. https://lnkd.in/eGfg2EN5

Maybe our 'made spaces' move from being 'work centric' to 'person centric'

If you are in the Twin Cities, check out the creators space, I haven't seen anything quite like it, and I quite like it.
