Globe-trotting hotdesking (through the Recession)

Camerson Sinclair writes about hotdesking or Global Tele-Offices as an answer to working through the recession -

In the last year I’ve met the [Hub] pavilions founder Stan Stalnaker in Singapore, New York, Davos and most recently Venice. Another global citizen that sees beyond borders and works in a highly mobile fashion. We are part of a growing group of professionals who circle the globe working in an agile manner, using social networks and email as a main means of communication.

He goes on to describe how hotdesking spaces serve as a sanctuary to him after hours in cramped airplanes, where he can relax and unwind, and still get work done. All of which he considers well worth paying for even in a recession.

I feel likewise about hotdesking spaces. While hotel lobbies and hotspot benches are convenient at times, more often than not I’d be happy to pay for a space that gives added value and benefit.
