Productive Environment Process™

According to The American Heritage Dictionary, an environment is:

The circumstances or conditions that surround ones surroundings.

The totality of circumstances surrounding an organism or group of organisms, especially the combination of external physical conditions that affect and influence the growth, development, and survival of organisms.

" We shall never understand the natural environment until we see it as a living organism."
~ Paul Brooks

Your environment, therefore, includes everything in your office -- your desk, your files, your computer, the supply closet, the bookshelves, the central filing system, the archive filing system, your home office – even your briefcase!

Design Your Vision
What will success look and feel like? If we are successful, how will things be different for the client?
Eliminate your Obstacles
We examine the stumbling blocks the client currently experiences. What have they tried in the past that didn't work? What might prevent success in the future?
Commit Your Resources
What resources is the client willing to invest in the project? Examples of resources include budget, time, technology, and personnel.
Select Your Tools
Eighty percent of our work is related to helping clients choose and use the best tools for their situation.
Maintain Your Success
The final step is to verify that the client's goals were achieved, i.e., that the system works for everyone and that a plan is in place for maintaining success.

The mission of a PTAC is to help their clients so everyone can accomplish their work and enjoy their lives. They accomplish this by organizing the client's time, space, and information so they can maximize productivity and reduce stress.
