In its simplest form, a co-working space provides a safe place and a scalable lifestyle balance where individuals from any industry can do their work. With options to work daily, weekly, or by the month with no lengthy rental options, they provide a desirably flexible work environment. By providing a sense of community, learning, and collaboration it isn’t a surprise that people want to communicate with others and be a part of something more than just working by themselves. Lifestyle and working hours are the most obvious benefits to co-working. A collaborative survey by two successful chains of co-working spaces, Wix and Officevibe, came up with some interesting statements regarding people who use these spaces. Coworkers are found to better complete tasks on time, have better working interactions with others, and are more confident. Consider the benefits of online tutoring tutors are available online http://essaydragon.com/ 24/7! Perhaps the most telling is that 92 percent are satisfied with their co-working environment. The co-working movement isn’t exactly new in a global sense. It’s been around the US for some years now, and the business model has typically been technology centric, with innovation in technology pervasive in almost everything we do. Not long ago we waited for new technology to grace us with its magic. Now the tools are available for us to build it ourselves. The mining and resources industry has its differences to other business types, however the most interesting point is that it is so diverse, it can sustain its very own ecosystem. MineSpace, a unique co-working business in West Perth specific to the mining industry, is creating a new paradigm shift from the usual co-working environment, to one dedicated to the mining industry. It is the only co-working space specific to mining in the world. Adrian Large, co-founder of MineSpace says “a sense of community is seriously lacking in West Perth. Workers leave their offices for lunch, then go back again once they’re finished. It’s an extremely robotic place to be right now, and in times like these when the industry is really suffering, companies aren’t able to value employees like they would like to. There is a distinct lack of spirit in the industry right now. ”

Providing the community with continual access and networking opportunities to new mining innovations, research bodies, and industry is important to the MineSpace ethos. Free lunch-time talks are a weekly event at the West Perth co-working space. “Only when we understand what already exists, what’s slated for research, and what innovations are on the horizon can we confidently join the dots and make advancements that would not normally be possible without access to collaboration like this,” says Large. “As an industry we’ve always accepted innovation at face value, just as easily as we accept that a certain thing has always been done a certain way. We don’t have to think like that anymore. We started our weekly talk series in February. It’s now April and it’s booked for the next 3 months and we’re looking at introducing two talks a week instead of just one. The reality of what the co-working space represents is beginning to have an effect. It’s far more than just a space. It’s a focal point for networking, learning, and being involved with doing better things. ”

Technology, the new and emerging ‘sharing economy’, and this thirst we all share now for innovation in science…it’s a powerful thing. By doing the simple things like opening accessibility to space, providing pay as you go software and systems at significantly cheaper prices, and collaboration with others being easier than ever before, small companies can now do things that big companies can do. ”
