Paper Tiger Productivity System™

The Paper Tiger Productivity System™ (PTPS) is designed for the workgroup. We are so confident of the impact that PTPS will have on your organization that we guarantee:

	Any one in your office will find documents in 5 seconds - Guaranteed!
	A 10% increase in productivity within 90 days of completion

When properly implemented the PTPS program will benefit your department or organization by:

	Turning the average time lost to looking for things – 150 hours per employee per year – into productive time
	Reducing file storage costs
	Increasing revenue by fine tuning existing work instead of starting from scratch every time
	Reducing redundancy
	Reducing new hire start-up time by providing immediate access to department information
	Improving customer service and response time
	Implementing legal retention guidelines and reducing legal liability issues

How does PTPS work?

Despite the advances in technology, our use of paper continues to increase year after year. Paper continues to be the primary way we use or store information. Therefore, the first place we target to make productivity gains is with your paper management systems. The PTPS program provides a quick, easy and cost-effective answer.

Working with the key decision maker the following steps will be implemented:

Step 1: Benchmark

We answer the question: What does success look like? During the assessment phase we will:

	Design your vision of success
	Understand what the obstacles are
	Commit resources
	Select tools
	Create implementation plans

Step 2: Leading by Example

For the executive, and assistant, in charge of the PTPS project we will conduct and 8-Hour Miracle. After one day, this executive will enjoy the benefits of working in a productive environment. With that newfound knowledge, this executive joins the Mise En Place team, acting in an emissary role, for introducing the PTPS to remaining department members.

Step 3: Getting Started Seminar

The department will be introduced to the PTPS Program during this 3 hour kickoff session. We’ll start first with an introduction from the executive who has already experienced an 8-Hour Miracle. Next, Ann Michael will conduct training on The GO System, a proven, step-by-step process to help people get organized and stay organized. Attendees will:

	Improve their ability to focus and concentrate
	Gain more control over their workload
	Easily and quickly prioritize their workload
	Get more done in less time
	Increase their contribution to the bottom-line results of your organization

Step 4: File Clean-out Day

The 80/20 rule applies to just about everything in life, and paper is no exception. Research shows nearly 80% of the information we store is never used. Think of the square footage that is storing this paper tiger; now think of less square footage and the impact that would have on your bottom line. We have fun during office clean out day with contests, food and camaraderie.

Step 5: “Productivity in Motion” Seminar

During this two hour seminar, Ann Michael teach employees how to integrate The Paper Tiger, The GO System and other tools, as determined by the initial assessment, to create their own productive environment. Employees will benefit from better communication, improved time management, and easier resource sharing.

Step 6: Productivity in Motion Implementation

Ann Michael and her team of consultants will spend between 2 to 4 hours with each employee to implement the company’s productivity solution. This step is crucial to the success of the program as it allow each employee to immediately implement the program and gets the entire department “on the same page” quickly and efficiently. Files created during this process will be networked to ensure easy access to departmental information. Security procedures will be put in place to insure privacy where needed. The one-on-one time with a Mise En Place consultant affords employees the opportunity for personal coaching on the productivity solution or any organizing issues they may have. Your company’s investment in this type of employee support and training will not go unnoticed by your employees.

Step 7: Evaluation

Approximately 90 days after full implementation of the PTPS and your company’s productivity solution, Ann Michael will communicate with, or meet with, program participants to evaluate the success of the program. Once the information is gathered, the results will be communicated to the management team. At this time, any challenges that remain will be addressed and resolved.

How long will the PTPS program take?

The answer to that question depends on the size of the department or organization. Generally, the project can be completed within 30 days. We meet with employees at various time throughout the implement of the program with total time per employee averaging two days.

Money Back Guarantee

Mise En Place is so confident about the success of the The Paper Tiger Productivity System Program that we offer a money back guarantee. If, after 180 days from completion of step 7 you are not completely satisfied, you money will be refunded, 100%. It’s that easy!
