Curious about Menlo Innovations?
Just the other day someone walked in our door to deliver some documents and commented "I don’t yet know what you do here, but a year from now I want to be working here." This is the easiest environment to recruit in ever. The Chief Happiness Officer in Denmark named us one of the ten coolest places to work ON THE PLANET!
You just gotta see it to believe it.
Imagine an environment without cubes, walls, doors or offices in a one hundred year old brick Kerrytown loft in Ann Arbor, Michigan. One big open room full of just-the-right-size teams working on six to ten projects at a time for our customers. It’s noisy, a bit messy, and no one has they’re own private space. It looks different every time you come. It’s "Kindergarten for GrownupsTM." All of the team members work in pairs and the tables they work at are usually arranged in such a way that the pairs work shoulder-to-shoulder, or else they face each other across the table. Call a meeting with Ted by saying "Hey Ted!" Call a meeting with the Dragonfly team by saying "Hey Dragonfly". Call an all-company meeting by calling out "Hey Menlo" and watch the entire team stop in an instant have the meeting and then go back to work without moving. Each week the pairs are changed, so if Ted and Kealy worked together last week, they aren’t working together this week. We’ve built the "Learning Organization" Peter Senge described in The 5th Discipline.
Why do we do choose to work this way? For the same reason Thomas Edison created such an environment: Serendipity and rapid knowledge exchange. Our clients are counting on it. They need fresh innovative thinking everyday. The need creativity, performance, energy, enthusiasm, excitement, hard work and teams of Menlonians thrilled to be working on their project.
That’s why people come to Menlo Innovations - to work here, to bring their project here, to learn how we do what we do, or just to see it. Come see it for yourself. We love welcoming visitors and we’ll conduct tours at the drop of hat.
