I'm reminded of an old Dilbert comic--which I can't seem to find online--where the CEO or consultant is hailed as visionary by alternately proposing "centralize everything which is decentralized" and "decentralize everything which is centralized."

I guess that could be applied to physical space...

I believe it's a page from Build a Better Life by Stealing Office Supplies, not an actual strip.

I'm quite certain there was--if not a full strip--at least an illustration involving the the CEO... Not the now-staple pointy-haired manager, but the heavily-jowled guy who's been supplanted by the bullet-headed CEO in recent years.

Each time, a diagram is behind him, either of a hub-and-spoke diagram or a spread-out cloud of nodes.

I remember exactly the illustrations you're talking about. They were on a left-hand page of the book.

Build a Better Life is composed mostly of pages divided into quadrants, in which Dogbert introduces the page's theme in the upper left and the next three sections illustrate it.
