It can be arranged horizontally or vertically to display based by staff section or by function.

It is a quick visual way to show these products.
Organization Management Rhythm can be shown in multiple ways. An excel document that shows the business week with spaces for time can be used. A standard calendar can be used to show the different meetings. It can be based on staff organizations. It can be based upon lines of effort for the company.
