Work on the new company

What to name the new company. I'm thinking Interarchy Solutions.

From discussions on the first day of work with Trish
What do you think of when I say hierarchy?
The hierarchy represents who is important and to some degree pay scales
What do you think of when I say Interarchy?
The interarchy represents how work is done. We think this is what really matters!
Potential Company Names:
Interarchy Solutions – workplace /workspace interventions for today's business
Interarchy Dynamics
Interarchy Interventions

Input anyone?

Potential Offers:
Intervention
Strategic Design – Intervention by Design
Assessment / Integration (when companies merge)
Potential Book Titles:
Happiness @ Work
One Minute Manager Format and Length
for Dummies
What Every Boss Should Know about Employees / What Every Employee Should Know about their Boss
Trish suggested I visualize what I want my work to "feel" like. This is very appealing and I think helpful as we design the company. I hope she will do the same.
Action Items:
Trish read:
a Interactions Intervention
a Tapping the Knowledge of the Front Line Employees
a Letter to Oprah
Trish took some books to look over. I would like her to come with any concept or idea, from any part of any book, as a topic for discussion.
Crucial Conversations
Web of Inclusion
A Safe Place for Dangerous truths
Trish will attend the process meeting at Obama Virginia HQ on Tuesday at 10:00, with Cheryl Zando, Volunteer Coordinator
This project is small and a good training ground for Trish – a defined problem to solve in a short period of time.
I will make a decision for a company name by the end of the week.

I think of Interarchy, the Mac file transfer application that has been around for 15 years.

Interarchy is already taken. I think you will need to come up with a different name.
