Project Overview

What will our collaboration experience be like, when we all work as flexible individuals?

Individuals are having more and more power to manage their work. Work is not limited to companies and offices anymore, and we're now in transition toward project and individual based work life. What is going to be the new format of workspace that can support changes in the way we work? In 2030, how are we going to collaborate, when individuals are not constrained to fixed spaces and employment?

Background

Why people are ditching offices and companies?

Offices and companies were means of efficient management of work and collaboration. But now we're having more options to make livings through work, other than fixed spaces and employment. People are looking for new means of work, especially that can support their goals of life and career out of traditional ways.

Why, and how people are seeking for better way of working?

Flexibility of work is becoming more important to people to manage their life and work. blah blah

Shifts in how we work - Where are we heading to?

Previous way of working in offices and companies

01

fixed, manageable
workspace

Individuals could optimize
their cubicles and desks
for own productivity.

Carry own environment

Flexible individuals pursue flexibility,
but don’t want to compromise the quality of environment.

02

Chance of
instant collaboration

Instant collaboration
like stopping by someone's desk was possible,
since all stayed in the same space.

Open to accept online communities
as peers and contributors

There's no stranger anymore for collaboration. Individuals share their works and opinions freely and this becomes source of learning and inspiration for those people.

03

Collaboration space
for efficient sharing

The focus of collaboration space was on
efficient sharing of materials and information
during discussions.

Work together along collaboration

Meetings are becoming more than communication. People do research and create while discussing, or even testing and proving in a limited time, like in hackathons and sprints.
