What kind of work environment does MDA have?
MDA has planned its workplace to facilitate specialized as well as inter-disciplinary collaboration for each team member, who simultaneously has all experts in his or her field co-located in immediate proximity (e.g., a floor of the Von Braun II complex). Similarly, specialists in other areas have a comparable arrangement nearby. This kind of collegial environment stimulates information sharing on projects and within a field of expertise. This set-up encourages a more efficient collaboration in a learning organization that continues to build an individual and collective knowledge base. For example, our Knowledge Centers can ensure that team members have the requisite information when they need it.
