My director is wanting me to develop a team flow chart to use at meetings. She wants something creative to show each team member and their down lines. Would be posted on the wall for all to see and watch the teams grow.

Ideas?

Thanks!
 
Maybe 5X7 cards connected by yarn on a pegboard? Can you picture it? It would look similar to the demo on the slideshow on consultants corner.
 
There are several ways you could approach creating a team flow chart for your meetings. Here are a few ideas to get you started:1. Use a visual tool: Consider using a visual tool such as Lucidchart or Canva to create your flow chart. These tools have a variety of templates and design options that can help you create a professional and visually appealing flow chart.2. Include relevant information: In addition to showing each team member and their down lines, think about what other information would be helpful for your team to see on the flow chart. This could include roles and responsibilities, project timelines, or key objectives for each team member.3. Incorporate color and graphics: To make your flow chart more eye-catching and engaging, consider using different colors and graphics to represent different team members and their roles. This can also help to visually illustrate the flow of work within the team.4. Make it interactive: Instead of just posting the flow chart on the wall, consider making it interactive by using a digital tool such as Trello or Asana. This way, team members can access and update the flow chart in real-time, making it a more dynamic and useful tool for tracking progress.5. Keep it simple: While it's important to make the flow chart visually appealing, make sure it's not too cluttered or complicated. Keep the design and layout simple so that it's easy for team members to understand and follow.Overall, the key is to tailor the flow chart to the specific needs and preferences of your team. Don't be afraid to experiment with different designs and formats until you find one that works best for your team. Good luck!
