148. Tashi Dorjee on How JLL's Flex Innovation Team is Working With Landlords in Australia

If you think coworking success is just about scaling fast and filling seats, Tashi Dorjee has a totally different take — and it's working. Tashi, Head of Flex at JLL Australia, joins us to share how his team is building flexible workspaces for governments, universities, and landlords — with a fresh model that throws traditional coworking goals out the window. From a rainforest startup to creating award-winning coworking ecosystems, Tashi's path is anything but ordinary...and it's shaping the future of flex. In this episode, we cover: Why JLL's Flex model prioritizes solving landlord problems over aggressive space expansion. How government and university projects like Quantum Terminal and Melbourne Connect are changing the coworking landscape. The "Flex Light" strategy and why a full coworking buildout isn't always the answer. How coworking spaces can integrate with asset management to drive real value for landlords. Tashi's passion project outside of JLL — building a YouTube channel for the next generation (and a pretty awesome legacy). If you want to understand where flex is heading — especially from the landlord's perspective — you don't want to miss this one.
