Culture & Collaborative
Modes
Idea Starters
Haworth uses the Competing Values Framework to define four culture types; connect, think, inform, and do. Backed by decades of research by the University of Michigan, it indicates behaviors in the workplace that people and teams find most important. These behaviors are identified as collaborative modes and they support different ways people work together and share information. From what you saw at the ALAMN Expo, the following collaborative modes resonated most with you.
What Stood Out to You.
Culture is the intersection of values, assumptions, and artifacts unique to an organization. An aligned culture unifies and motivates a workforce, represents the employee and customer experience, and reflects brand.

Warehouse Capabilities
Fluid currently operates 75,000 square feet of warehouse space. Our facility is organized in two distinct areas:
Cross Dock for active projects, and
Asset Management for customer storage.
Our space is designed for efficient product flow, equipped with high density racking, and secured through a monitored alarm system.
Our people are trained on cross-dock and asset management processes and technology platforms in order to effectively support and manage our customer's storage needs.
We offer our customers 30 days of free storage for any active projects. After 30 days, we offer a rate of $0.90 per square foot with associated hourly in and out fees for product storage.
Because no two companies are alike. And shouldn't be.
Relocation Services
Furniture Uninstalls & Reinstalls – Furniture Reconfigurations – Decommissions – Technology Disconnects & Reconnects
We provide comprehensive relocation services that can move any company to a new location with minimal disruption to day-to-day business operations.
When we coordinate a relocation project, every phase is carefully considered. Our service includes pre-move planning, coordination of resources, detailed relocation schedules, employee move meetings, on-site project management, and post-move follow-up activities.
We can integrate the installation of your new furniture and the reconfiguration or decommission of your existing furniture with your relocation project to provide a seamless, one-stop service experience.
Facility Resources
Warranty - Customer To Do - Move, Add, Change
When it comes to Facility Resources from simple service requests and warranties to complex Moves, Adds, and Changes, completing tasks quickly is our specialty. At Fluid, each service account is assigned their own Fluid Lead. Your Lead is accountable for all aspects of your service requests – a single point of contact for the daily needs that come up. Fluid provides your Leads with the technology to help uncomplicate your service needs. With this system in place, we are only one click away.
Asset Management
Fluid’s Asset Management Programs include the facilities, resources, and technology to manage and track your furniture.
We can help you reduce storage costs and maximize the utilization of your existing assets.

Nilan Johnson Lewis
Nilan Johnson went through an office refresh at their Downtown Minneapolis, location. A driving factor for this project was consolidating 2 floors into 1 to ensure team unity and culture.
The overall project scope included 69 private offices, 24 workstations, conference rooms, collaboration spaces, and a café dining area.
Location: Minneapolis
Square Footage: 36,519
Project Cost for Furniture: $1,100,000
Project Cost for Walls: $300,000
Employees: 95
Merchant & Gould moved from IDS Center into its new space in the Fifth Street Towers complex in downtown Minneapolis. The two-floor office offers views of the downtown Minneapolis skyline, but also an opportunity to reduce the firm’s environmental footprint, promote collaborative work and become more technologically advanced.
Additionally, offices have plenty of glass and windows that allow natural light to flow in. Instead of corner offices, Merchant & Gould's office has collaborative workspaces.
