Designing the Ideal Work Space to Peak Productivity 

Overview:

Before you begin busting down walls or buying thousands of dollars of computer stuff, you should spend a few hours thinking about and planning what you are trying to accomplish by creating an office.  This time, spent up front, will save you money and implementation problems as the project proceeds.  All business owners or prospective business owners benefit from having a small office / home office (SOHO).  And, as with all technology decisions, there is a process that will help insure that you make the best decision.  This workshop will introduce you to that process. 

Description:

This process will help you:

  1.       Define the business needs for your office
  2.       Identify the technology you will need for your office
  3.       Define a budget for your office
  4.       Identify vendors/products to solve your business needs
  5.       Compare vendors/products to solve your business needs
  6.       Select the best vendor/product to solve your business needs
  7.       Create a general implementation plan for creating your office
