Organizational Models

We met up as a group on Friday to discuss organizational models in preparation for next week. Individually we researched different existing models, then came together to draw up one that would be best for our market.

(Notes by Kajal)

We basically all had a similar idea on what would work for the market. Michael described it as like a tree.

Original diagram by Kajal

There's one team in charge of the market; organizing the space, advertising, etc. They are the trunk.
Every other team is doing a stall, but had one representative who communicates with the Market Team and all the other representatives. They are the branches, and the other teammates are the leaves.
If the teams have a question, their representative will take it to the others to discuss and get an answer.

By having a set representative, communication can happen more clearly, and with all the representatives talking to each other (via a group chat/FB groups/etc) everyone gets the answers and the same question doesn't get asked twice.

The main issue we thought might happen within this model is that there won't be a team who wants to take up organizing the market. If this happens, we could look at varying the model slightly.
