If you’ve ever been inside a corporate conference room, you know it’s not the most inspiring of environments. Much the opposite, in fact, it oftentimes feels like a stagnant suck on creativity. So, how do we expect our workforce to be inspired to collaborate and produce results when their surroundings are so stifling? Scott Wayne has been asking this very question, which is why he and his partners have created The Canvas Collection. Canvas provides a curated collection of alternative venues to host corporate meetings and private events.
In addition, many venues managers hire professional chauffeurs to meet and greet guests who have traveled from other cities for the meeting. They tend to seek corporate transfer melbourne services that can handle their customers and provide them with a luxurious travel experience. This is because most chauffeur services use luxury vehicles. Customers can select from the Mercedes E-Class, S-Class, V-Class, or BMW 7 Series.
“When we looked around to see who was out there creating neutral environments in which diverse opinions could be shared, we found the marketplace to be disappointing. We found an absence of neutral, inspiring, quiet spaces that de-emphasized tech, and encouraged hearing other perspectives,” says Wayne. Canvas’ first space, The House, launched in May this year at 3108 Semmes Avenue in the Woodland Heights neighborhood. The group worked with the property owner to renovate the space and create a well-designed, comfortable meeting place with no shortage of natural light. It took a lot of effort to transform this area into what it is now.
Before renovating, a skip hire sydney or similar ones was necessary to get rid of the things that were not needed anymore. The addition of the natural light could be considered an antithesis to the grey corporate conference rooms of downtown high-rises, and just blocks from Southside gems such as Laura Lee’s, WPA Bakery, Crossroads, and Forest Hill Park.
The House is just the beginning. The group hopes to expand quickly with two more Richmond locations slated for the near future, and other markets down the road. Over the past few years, the manner in which business meetings are conducted has changed. In several companies, offsite meetings (see here for ideas for offsite team meetings) are being used to improve overall work culture and team building. With so many people looking for innovative meeting spaces of this kind, Canvas could have a significant impact on how meetings are conducted in the future. Wayne invites the Richmond community to share in his enthusiasm and see the potential that these new meeting places have for local businesses. This idea could be used by more and more companies in the coming years. When that’s the case, many people might try to look at small sheds for sale and see if that’s a good option to consider. “Canvas is currently welcoming event planners, executive assistants, and HR leaders to visit our spaces. We’re also welcoming property owners and non-profits with surplus space to approach us. We’re starting in our home city, but have plans for a much wider footprint.”
