Strängnäs kommun co-working

Purpose and goal: Strängnäs municipality intended to redefine the meaning of the concept workplace and see how the coworking surface can contribute to creativity and innovation in collaboration, as a complement to our physical offices, and our respective "home offices". Objective: - experienced to work in community: yes

- collaborated with other actors: yes, at several occasions - focused on creative / changing development: yes, sporadic conversations - drawn conclusions about attractive workplace and employer: has not been requested by the home organization Expected results and effects: Concrete insights:

- within specific activity (networking in innovation, development, etc.): Outcome: Nätverket is home for networking, the concrete collaborative work often takes place elsewhere - how can a future attractive workplace be, what conclusions do we draw? Outcome: question not treated Insights of an innovatory nature:

- what happens when the concepts of workplace and community are merged? Outcome: this is happening and becoming increasingly important - how can we (public actors) contribute to each other´s development? Outcome: unclear how, but it must happen Approach and implementation: - About our own staffing: difficult to appoint permanent staff when questions to be dealt with are highly variable

- In order to jointly solve tomorrow´s challenges, concrete and specific issues would need to be processed, against defined common objective. - This points to a management issue that needs to be adressed , which can be done in several ways: 1) resource owners decide which issues are to be resolved in collaboration/tasks to be pursued

2) resource owners mandate their participating employees to decide which issues that must be solved/ tasks that must be carried out
