Know-How Exchange : Taglines/Names

Hi all,

I'm a supervisor in the employment division of a public sector human resources office. We serve two customers: our applicants and our hiring departments that are need of highly qualified candidates. We perform employment related functions including job analysis, recruitment, testing and selection, certification, classification and marketing/outreach.

Currently, each staff member is highly specialized in one area which has created communication, accountability and cross-training problems to name a few. Staff lack the "big picture" and have no understanding of what the others do yet they are dependent on them. Since this isn't an efficient or productive way of doing business, we are undergoing an organizational redesign to move staff into a "pod" concept. We will have four pods or teams that are collocated, cohesive and self-contained.

My boss loves the idea but hates the name "pod". I'd like something more interesting, exciting and fun than the plain and traditional "team" or "unit". It still has to be somewhat professional but I really want the staff to be excited about the idea and create a whole theme around the introduction of this new structure. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
