We ran an interesting experiment in the HYPER lab the other day. The following picture was handed to all of the lab members and they were asked to:

  1. Identify which diagram best describes how work/tasks/information flows in the lab (dots are people, arrows are flows).
  2. Identify which diagram best describes how things should ideally flow.

The exercise helped change how we communicate. We now have a weekly member lunch and activity on the blog has increased. I’ll leave you to decide on how the image relates to spiral memes.
