Speaking of HOK's different disciplines, the founders encouraged people with similar roles to meet together to share their knowledge and help each other to succeed. Hellmuth's marketers met together in this fashion, as did Obata's designers and Kassabaum's people too. In fact, two groups formed In Kassabaum's department—one for project managers and another for project architects—since Kassabaum wore two hats at HOK and had teams for each. These groups were open to people in each department, regardless of their seniority, and encouraged a free flow of ideas. HOK eventually named them “core boards” because they represented the four core competencies of the firm: marketing, design, management, and production.
