Business Organizing

CEOs and managers know that a disorganized office is costly to business.

• The average executive who spends 1 hour per day searching for missing information in a messy desk or file wastes 6 weeks per year.  
• 80% of papers that are filed are never referenced again.
• White collar workers waste an average of 40% of their workday, not because they aren’t smart, but because they were never taught organizing skills to cope with the increasing workloads and demands.
• Time spent mishandling paperwork detracts from the company’s ability to service customers, increase sales, and improve the bottom line.

I’m the Executive Director of an education association in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Helen was the incumbent Director of Marketing and Communications when I took over as CEO in 1998. That job title covered her activities in the publishing and marketing realms. Her skills for strategic planning and execution were superb, but that’s the subject of another memo. What you want to know right now is what her qualifications are as an organizer or project manager in your office.

Whenever I needed information or a copy of a “lost” document, I could count on Helen to find or retrieve it. Her decision to transfer her skills into professional organizing is a brilliant stroke.

I can throw out some adjectives—direct, honest, efficient, effective, intelligent. Helen led teams (and served on them, too) with tact and energy.

If you’re considering hiring Helen for any business project that involves organizing, prioritizing, or streamlining, don’t hesitate for a minute. She’s one of the most valuable outsource partners you could have.
