By definition, the hub is “the effective center of an activity, region or network.” This is a far more exciting and dynamic way to describe the office of the future-we no longer go to the office to work but instead are learning how to leverage it as a hub for engagement and activity. Where did the hub-and-spoke model come from?Īny company that has a flexible work policy to work-from-home on a regular basis has a hub-and-spoke model. Because everything is accessible via a unified system, it’s easy to comprehend and manage. For instance, if someone from the hub office is visiting a spoke space, they can book a conference room in the location they are visiting rather than just at their home base. Our platform merges the online and offline worlds companies implementing hub-and-spoke models can use cove’s system to create a single experience across locations. At cove, we have made it our mission to develop the tech tools companies need to be successful. It’s important to note that without technology in place, hybrid work and a hub-and-spoke model cannot work to the fullest potential. We see the future of the office revolving around a hub-and-spoke approach for companies-that is all to say how do you optimize for in-person interaction at the hub while providing choice, productive options and reduced commutes through spokes? Similarly, if enough people live within a sub market in the same market that the hub exists, a spoke also makes sense. If enough people live in and around a city, a new spoke would make sense. Determining where to establish a formal spoke office versus relying only on informal spokes like a person’s home is dictated by the density of a company’s staff. This can include a satellite office or the home or even a coffee shop-a spoke can be an outpost of 50 or of one. The hub-and-spoke model enables a centralized “hub” for people to come together, while also providing the choice to work from “spokes.” A spoke does not have to be a conventional office, but instead any place from which a person can be productive. A great example of this is the future of office. Technology provides new and exciting ways to leverage space for human interaction.
