Quantify & Rationalise
Our team’s data driven approach quantifies the current workspace unearthing the volumes within. It is the starting point to rationalise what your visionary workplace needs. Ultimately, our investigations inform decisions for the future, creating opportunities to minimise on waste, maximise on space, functionality, and provide guidance to the benefits of the continued use of equipment, technology, furniture, assets and so on.
Sustainable change isn’t a ‘work to’ process; it must be ‘work with’. Flexible working has changed the ways in which people interact with the workplace, however files, storage and file management has remained largely the same. Transition’s file and storage rationalisation closes the gap between diverging working styles and file management.
Our intensive and rigorous auditing process accurately captures file formats, filing habits and storage usage. The end – to end evidence gathered from the audit, drives strategies for a bespoke file reduction campaign and allows us to pinpoint areas for development as well as provide your teams with key recommendations for improving file management. Our objectives during the file reduction is to establish a community of actively engaged staff – for whom file management is not an ‘add on’ to their day job – but a process that compliments flexible working with staff who are confident, capable, and connected in their management of information.
Throughout the file reduction, our team leads the way to ensure our delivery targets align with the broader scope of your visionary workplace and align with works conducted by other stakeholders. Our Storage Solutions Brief dovetails into elements of workplace design by specifically informing the ways in which ongoing file management is practical, aligns with flexible working and is sustainable in the long term.
