Last fall there was an artists sketch about a new NDHQ in the East Ottawa area.
Working in NDHQ I get the sense that DND is not cracking the code on how to make nice with the Canadian Taxpayer.
Since NDHQ is the hub of all things DND - lets treat it like a ship or battalion on operations and run at least 2 shifts because the joint is empty from 1530 to 0630 daily.
My idea is
Core Command team is there from whenever they want and the rest spread through a morning and afternoon shift. At your desk (this includes the ADM MAT old boys by the way in other buildings who I hear are very pressed for space)
Repeat for Canada Command and anyone else who needs space.
Estimated net reduction in infrastructure required = at least 30% = more $$$$ for big ticket items - some of which have horizontal blades.
Your staff would work 6.5 hrs daily and head to the gym - being monitored by their ID card. Those that don`t go to the gym are exempted from Express test or heading to the release section soon.
If they can`t bite into this idea it would tend to prove that (your reply goes here)
That goes for all civvies and military currently at NDHQ.
Now - lets play senior manager and think out of the box with your replies.
This is about using an asset to the maximum, spreading out the commuting problem - maybe be a great model for other government departments on space utlisation etc............. and save your money as the guy on the I.N.G. banking commercials says
