Challenge:
Our client did not feel like she had enough space at her desk, so she dreaded working from her home office.  The space was not conducive for working and she needed something tailored to her style and personality.

Solution:
With a splash of color on the walls and new shelving units to put clutter out of sight, we were able transform her desk into a tidy surface.

Result:
With a much more inviting space, our client now loves working from her home office!

Challenge:
A busy sales executive wanted to have access to his email and calendar on-the-go, but his cell phone didn’t sync perfectly with Outlook.  He scribbled appointments on scratch paper while he was out and added them to his Outlook calendar when he got back to the office – sometimes to find that he’d double-booked himself.  Sometimes he was late for meetings because he forgot about appointments when he hadn’t been near his computer for several hours.

Solution:
We set up a Microsoft Exchange Server so that all of his email and calendar items are always in sync, on every device!

Result:
Now his phone, iPad, work desktop, and personal laptop are all in sync at all times.  By having the ability to add calendar items while on-the-go, this executive feels more in control of his schedule and is able to take advantage of breaks by checking and responding to emails in between meetings.

Solution:
Since the employee would be working virtually, he would need a way to access his business documents and electronic files.  The Innovatively Organized team set up Dropbox to keep his files synced and accessible from multiple devices, while also allowing for collaboration and sharing.  Our team of productivity consultants also implemented a virtual phone system, which gave the new employee the flexibility to work remotely while still being connected and within contact.

Result:
Our client’s new employee can now work virtually, successfully be part of the new mobile workforce, and remain connected to the business.  The cost of the implemented systems was minimal but added to the company’s productivity immensely.  The new employee can access electronic documents right away, as well as be contacted via the business phone line.

Challenge:
Too much paper!  We started with an inherited office that contained a number of old files, which left little space for the introduction of new items.  By continuing to add to the amount of paper in the office, instead of removing old files from the space, the result was numerous piles of paper throughout the small office space, covering just about every available surface.

Solution:
We sorted through the paper, archived old files, cleared the vertical and horizontal surfaces, and created a new filing system.

Result:
Our client can now work in a streamlined filing system and an un-cluttered office space.  Both the walls and desktop spaces were cleared and now provide a sense of order in the office.  Files are now easily located and retrieved in mere seconds, and each piece of paper has a specific place to be returned when not in use.

Challenge:
Our client has been defining a new Human Resources function at her work and lacked extra time in her day to create a paper, task, and information flow. She was feeling overwhelmed with the accumulation of paper around her office.

Solution:
We worked with her to implement a paper inflow process, create paper files, and improve paper filing. First, we sorted all of the various papers in her office and created broad categories. We then used these categories to create a new filing system, and rearranged her file drawers to be more accessible. Next we reviewed all of the open projects and tasks, and created a file system prioritizing all of her open projects. We also discussed time management techniques and added blocks of time to her calendar to spend on routine tasks, making it easier to manage her day.

Result:
Our client now has a clear idea of how to sort information as it comes into her office and a designated area to delegate tasks to her part-time assistant. She can find the paper she needs quickly, and has a system in place to keep track of her various projects, as well as processing of everyday tasks. Most importantly, her desk is clear so that she can use the surface to work on projects throughout the day!

Challenge:
Too much paper!  The client runs her business out of her home, but the office was not working successfully.  She had file cabinets in the office, but they were not working efficiently for her.  She needed a system that would help her run her business more efficiently. 

Solution:
We sorted through the paper, archived old files, cleared the horizontal surfaces, and created a new filing system.  We utilized her existing file cabinets and also brought in a new bookshelf to store supplies and paperwork for her business.

Result:
The client now has an easy-to-use filing system, efficient storage, and an un-cluttered office space.  All files are labeled appropriately and we created a system that allows the client to easily and quickly access her business information.  She now has a flow for incoming paperwork and mail that allow her to feel a sense of peace in her office.
