Unnecessary Paperwork
Posted by admin on 09/05/2010 in Work and Business |
Don't you wonder why you are making 5 copies to be distributed to people, who will in turn, throw them into the recycle bin? We've gotten so carried away in our paperwork, we sometimes forget to stop and think what paperwork is necessary, who needs to really see it, and how we manage destroying more trees, or using more bandwidth to "share" information.
Take a moment to consider why you are making the copies you are making. Is there a better way to distribute the information to people that might need the information, but not necessarily in the form of a copy or printout? Can the information be summarized? Can you reduce your paperwork?
Something to think about, and we can work with you to work through some of those decisions. Either way, take a moment to consider: (1) who I am giving copies to (2) do they really need individual copies of the information, or would a weekly or monthly summary of the information be just as useful and (3) do we have the systems available to summarize the information to share it more efficiently?
