Information is the fuel of any organization; and like fuel running through an engine, it is meant to move, to flow, to ignite movement. During this Webinar we will look at the lifecycle of information – paper, electronic, e-mail – and how to keep it moving so that we don’t get bogged down. Information is one of the key assets of your organization. Managing that information requires:

  • Creating and strategically applying best practices in a meaningful way.
  • Defining responsibility and accountability.
  • Developing consistency in procedures, implementation, and training.
  • Outlining clear processes that accommodate departmental differences and corporate goals.

Keep the information in your organization vital and timely so that you can maximize your resources and your profit.

Have you ever felt like your office papers are ganging up on you? The second you walk into your office, do they seem to be ready to attack, giving you an intense feeling of being overwhelmed and frustrated? Many professionals keep around papers of all sorts because they fear that if they file them away they may never find them again. Now, this could easily be true IF they used a poor filing system or process to store and archive information. As a matter of fact, today’s average worker wastes as much as one hour per day—over three weeks per year—searching for lost or misplaced information in their files and on their desk. Imagine what you could do with an extra hour a day…

Stop dealing with the hassle of misplaced or lost information. Learn how to:

  • Be more responsive to your customers.
  • Streamline your office.
  • Lower your stress level.
  • Transform your files into a valuable, instantly retrievable resource.
  • Eliminate the need to duplicate paper and to file by category, author, or date.
  • Assure fast reaction to audits or other legal actions.
  • Reduce disruption from employee turnover.


You can permanently relieve your paper headaches by using a strategic paper management process supported by The Paper Tiger, an industry-leading software program.

 

 Coaching and Consulting

Managing the flow of information – whatever the source – is the key to being effective at work and in your life. All too often, we feel as if we are being bombarded with information – from cascading paper piles, to overflowing e-mail in-boxes, to our chaotic electronic filing system and more. The information that crosses our mental and physical thresholds is there to support our goals, objectives, and priorities. But does it?

How do you hold true to your vision and still integrate the changing economic environment, the bold new opportunities, the constant demands of your customers, and the myriad of other challenges? How do you best manage all of that new information, incorporate it into your overall game plan and keep your eye on the ball while staying one step ahead of your competition? Evaluate and adjust. Together, we will confirm your vision, assess where you currently are and then design and implement “course corrections” that may be needed. Without the ability to understand, use, and manage information, understanding how and when the world is changing becomes very difficult—making decision making challenging and frustrating.

Mise En Place can help you and/or your entire team(s) produce meaningful results, improve team and individual performance, and enhance the quality of ones professional, and by default personal, lives. Our Effectiveness Experts are trained to listen, to observe, and to customize the processes and tools that are being implemented to meet individual needs. We seek to elicit solutions and strategies from our clients; and to tap into their natural creativity and resourcefulness. Ultimately, we want to provide the support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that you already have.

Contact Mise En Place for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!
