With more than twenty years of experience in the sectorat INSPIRA Workspaces We would like to do a little analysis on how we have evolved as a Business Center throughout this time, especially due to the growth of new Coworking Centers, which has experienced an unprecedented evolution in recent years in Spain. I, who have been in the group for 9 years, am already a veteran, and therefore I believe I can make a good analysis of the evolution.

The context and needs of companies have changed radically in recent years, even more so after the health crisis that we are still suffering, making an evolution of workspaces necessary. For our part, this new situation has not only forced us to adapt to the new rules of the game, but we have also had to reinvent ourselves. On the path of reinvention, one runs the risk of losing the identity, in our case the comprehensive service and proximity to our customers. These aspects have curiously been seen reinforced, because precisely analyzing our identity to redefine it has helped us realize the importance of our identity for let our clients tell you.

Business Center or Coworking? Better, Workspace

About Us we were born more than 20 years ago with the objective that let our clients tell you are dedicated solely and exclusively to their business, helping them achieve their goals and advising them on everything necessary, managing to be part of their successes. With this approach, we began to grow and develop our business model.

At first we did not offer all the services that we have available now, far from it, rather We started with the idea to provide shelter to some companies, especially those newly created or being established, as well as self-employed professionals who were in a similar situation. To do this, we put our services at their disposal services domiciliation of companies or our distinguished integrated business service, which included the rental of a private and exclusive office, with a wide variety of additional services for rent (secretary, consultancy, translation services, etc.). It could be said that We are known for specialising in office rentals and having a strategic location in the financial heart of the city. In addition, our facilities also had several meeting rooms or an office, for example, in addition to having secretarial service and customer service provided by the Center's staff, who are fully available to you whenever necessary. 

However, to put it in some way, it was a very formal relationship, but more distant, with the professionalism and seriousness that has always characterized us, but without interfering too much in the affairs of our clients. Today, not only We try to be closerBut We offer to be part of our clients' structure, so that they can rely on us at any time, in anything that is necessary or that they might need. 

Although we have retained our essence in terms of for the rental of private and representative offices, nowadays We have greatly encouraged the use of meeting rooms and common areas for the sake of the new era, adapting all these spaces with the aim of facilitate the creation of synergies and a professional, relaxed and multi-functional work environment. All our facilities have been reformed, we have increased the ratio of employees per client (something that is exactly the opposite of what the competition is doing) and, above all, we have relied on external collaborators of absolute trust in order to be able to offer almost any service! Another important point in our transformation has been the approach to our clients. With this approach we have mainly achieved two things: 1) To better understand the needs of our clients in order to be able to adapt to them. 2) To promote collaboration between them, there are a lot of success stories, which in turn results in promoting the loyalty of our clients towards the group.

At this point, it is important to be clear the concept of coworking, what is coworking? In this shared workspace where professionals of all kinds converge, and in which it is not necessary for them to belong to the same sector. Basically, each one pays a monthly amount based on the space you rent or the services you consume.

From our point of view, the rise of coworking answer back, above all, to a change of social and economic paradigm

Economically, because there has been a Change of trend by companies towards shared spaces to the detriment of the traditional office, thereby reducing costs, especially fixed costs and investment in adapting the space. Companies have realized the flexibility and immediacy that businesses require today to grow. 

Offices have been burdensome elements for companies, reducing their ability to adapt, since they had to sign long term contracts y make large investments in implementation without knowing for sure whether they would need more or less space over time, so they oversized the facilities or fell short, becoming prisoners of overcrowding and inefficiencies.

Therefore, eThe transition from the traditional office to coworking offers companies flexibility, cost savings, convenience, a better location and access to resources and services that would otherwise be beyond their reach. In an environment as variable and uncertain as the one we are experiencing, it is clear that all these factors present a big advantage. Therefore, Shared workspaces are the perfect solution in this context.

And in the social, because with the evolution of society has slowed down a lot on our scale of values the feeling of ownership, beginning to prioritize other aspects such as Pay per use, flexibility, immediacy or the freedom to choose at any time where you want to workJust as renting a home, renting a car or sharing resources for leisure is now normal, this step is being taken at a professional level with coworking spaces.

We must not forget the change that has occurred with the arrival of teleworking, all thanks to the Technological evolution and global connectivityNowadays it is possible to work anywhere and with the independence and tools necessary to perform our work optimally.

A very graphic way of looking at it is the following. If there was a time when we opened the doors of our house to all the professionals who did not want to work at home, today they are the ones who come to work at their “other” house, with our 24/7 access service, 365 days a year.

Just like Bussiness center, we always offered as differential values location, professionalism, service, communication, representativeness or image, among other things. With the evolution to Coworking CenterToday we also offer added value such as flexibility, personalized attention, technology, connectivity, digitalization, respect for the environment, synergies and self-service, among other things. We take this opportunity to leave you a link that talks about coworking as the key to both professional and personal enrichment. 

Over time, we have managed to our clients feel more comfortable and happy, adapting our facilities to your current needs and in a more cosmopolitan, productive and pleasant environmentProof of this is the installation of our biometric system to be able to access the Center, recording of images 24 hours a day, Cozy waiting rooms with cafeteria service, Personalized attention to visits, a large number of sMeeting wings fully adapted for different functionalities, Work spaces furnished and equipped with designer furniture, System of telecommunications to work from anywhere with total flexibility, outer regions to be able to work or meet, like our wonderful terrace… 

For this year we will continue with our philosophy, Focused on providing our clients with greater technology, flexibility and simplicity, that is, improving and Personalizing all our services even more if possible, to make the daily life of all members of our community more comfortable and efficient.

Business centre or coworking? Well, we think that this dialectical dispute doesn't make much sense. We like to talk about Workspaces. The word Workspaces combines the traditional personalized treatment of the business centre with the flexibility and commitment to community creation of coworking. In short, Workspace is the union of both concepts, which in turn have become increasingly closer to each other. If you haven't yet experienced the experience of working in a flexible space, we invite you to do so, you won't regret it!
