is anyone seeing anything interesting about software, policies and etiquette to manage hybrid working? these things go feral quickly and I’ve not seen good space booking and management systems. feels like a golden opportunity now to try/make something different.
you can see companies like Regus and even WeWork doing well if they hold their nerve and reconfigure. companies are going to need contracted overflow. and being able to meet as a team somewhere on the other side of town, or in a different city, for a day or two, could be useful.
