The Comprehensive Efficiency
Consulting studies four areas of your practice:
-
Management Efficiency Consulting -
Management efficiency is when all operational aspects of your business that
have been optimized for efficiency are recognized and fully utilized by
those who manage your firm. If operational efficiency rules do not apply to
those in charge, a breakdown in confidence and motivation can occur with
employees of the firm. We can help by providing guidelines
for hiring, training, managing and retaining staff, saving you thousands of dollars in wasted
expense trying to do this on your own. It is, therefore, extremely
important to determine to what extent management techniques, systems and
procedures coordinate with the operational issues that are studied in the
context of the entire operations of your firm. Another part of this area
involves succession and contingency planning, a key management issue.

Efficient Technology Use Consulting
- Technical Systems Efficiency is when all of your technical systems (i.e..
computers, software, printers, scanners, servers, website, email, phone
system, messaging systems, point-of-sale systems and in-office communication
systems are all working together, communicate with each other and share data
seamlessly. What frequently happens in a firm is the purchase of software
and equipment on an as-needed basis. Often this means a patchwork of
unrelated equipment and software that do not communicate with each other
effectively or at all. We analyze your technical systems to determine what
the conditions are and to point out potential shortfalls or pluses. We also
analyze these items in light of how you work and how your use of them
impacts your style of business. For more information,

Process Consulting - Most practices begin
as a one-person shop and expand from there. Thus, the need for operational
standards or written procedures may not be recognized until the need becomes
so great that drastic steps must be taken to fix problems as they arise.
Developing or refining operational standards and written procedures makes
for a more efficient workplace. If an employer is out with an extended
illness or leaves, another employee can easily step into the role vacated
because these procedures are in place. We analyze what procedures or manuals
you already have in place and study your workflow processes to understand
their strengths and weaknesses. For more information,

Design Consulting
- Let's face it, space planning is a key aspect of efficient use of resources.
Often, we find that we have limited space to work with and unlimited needs.
There are ways to dramatically improve the use of existing space. Office space
utilization is critical to efficient operations. Workflow operations
progress much faster when office space is designed to accommodate a more
efficient processing of paperwork, etc. Feng Shui is the ancient oriental
art of arranging a space to invite a more positive flow of energy throughout
that space (For additional information on Feng Shui, please click
Feng Shui Tips). In an office environment,
this may mean subtle changes in the office environment to make it a more
pleasant, productive and harmonious place for clients and employees. Beyond
harmony, there are also the considerations for utility and practicality. We
analyze your space design and utilization to determine how efficiently you
are using what you have from a variety of perspectives.
Design also encompasses branding and
differentiation. For more information,
