Departments

Of the four types of departmentalisation listed, for our purposes functional departmentalisation will be most useful. Departments are a common-sense way to structure and account for resources. The responsibilty for a department is given to whoever fills a given role within it, which endows the person with the necessary day-to-day experience with that department. Budgets are also assigned to divisions.

Generic Departments
  • Administration
  • Housekeeping
  • Accounts
  • Management
My additional departments
  • Communications
  • Information Technology
  • Logistics
  • Catering

vs

Informational Departments

Maybe there could also be a workspace which allows us to use the following, also useful divisions:

Contacts
  • Comms channels
  • Contacts
  • Public docs
Content
  • Files
  • Documents
  • Images
  • Media resources
Schedule
  • Calendar
  • Events
  • Qtree
Resources
  • Accounts
  • Transport
  • Catering
  • infrastructure
