The Physical Wiki
AboutUs does not keep its wikiositude (it’s a word - look it up) confined to its website. This collaborative approach “bodies forth” even in the physical shape of AboutUs Towers. At AboutUs, work is done in small groups, which change to reflect the needs of the job in front of us. What better way to allow for the creation of work groups than living the wiki.
Look at the space as a whole. It’s open, with few barriers between individuals. The large rows of industrial windows even effect a connection with the outside world.
Now look at the work stations Each of the tables and chairs in our workspace are equipped with large rubber wheels. When a work group forms, AboutUs-ites can wheel desks and chairs together for the duration of the meeting or project, lock down the wheels, then unlock them when they’re done and wheel them away again.
Finally, the whole place is tied together electronically not by great fat bundles of wires but by a sophisticated wifi system, that allows anyone to work with any computer from anywhere in the office.
For AboutUs, wiki is not just a nice idea or a business sector to exploit, it’s a way of thinking. At AboutUs, we practice what we preach.
