co-location

We had a move today at the office. All seats were re-organised so that teams were co-located.

I was the bunny that was responsible for organising it. Several people complained.

Why do I have to move?

It's such an inconvenience!

What's the point?

Within an hour or so of moving, I overheard a conversation on an issue that I have to report to the business on on Tuesday.

Whammo!

This is the reason why it's important to sit with your team. The cost of communicating must be as low as possible. This can deliver real benefits to the immediacy of information and help.

There will always be nay-sayers. Ignore them and know the truth!
