I met a guy a few weeks ago who was setting up a new business. He was a surveyor. He worked on his own and had yet to get any regular clients. However his first priority – he told me – was to find himself an office. I took a deep gulp when he told me how much it was going to cost – £1200 per month. Maybe not a great deal of money – but considering we’ve run Orgtopia on a virtual basis for over six years without the need for anything more than home offices, it seemed extravagent.
A recent blog on the free-lancers website , People per Hour, talks about Seth Godin’s, vision of the future. He thinks that in the very near future, many organisations will only employ a very few essential people and the rest of the work will be outsourced. Because of this – a great deal of their “workforce” will be located in offices and also homes all over the place. There will be little need for expensive office space.
