We have recently formed an organization and would like some advice on the structure. There are five of us, 3 of whom live in other countries. Each of us has a particular professional background in health and medicine. We plan to have a "virtual" office, partly to keep overhead low, but will meet on a regular basis. We would each be "project managers" - on our own but within the group. For example, I am planning to seek funding for an international health project, I will be the principal investigator/researcher, but I would hire or contract researchers or specialists for part of the work. In other words, we would each pick the areas and topics we want to work on, and design "our own" project. These would always be discussed/agreed between the officers of the organization. We think of this as an organization composed of a number of project teams. Does this make sense? Because of our previous work internationally, we feel this would be a good model for our organization - but we may have overlooked some important aspects. Grateful for your advice.
