CHNM Staff for Office Shuffle

CHNM Staff for Office Shuffle

To plan for the acquisition of a bunch of new office space there was a need to reshuffle the staff to make best use of the office space. So, we ended up making a big foam-core backed map and a set of little models of people to place to work through how to best organize the space. Each of the colors corresponds to different work groups in CHNM. This picture shows those little figures. To make it easier to identify, pink is education, green is public projects, blue is research projects, yellow was more core operations and orange was the Omeka team. At the front of each row is the then respective heads of those divisions. Instead of simply dictating how to change the layout of the offices at the management level, the managers each appointed one of their staff members to work to represent the perspectives of the respective divisions in trying to get their teams close together.
