How to be a Good Office Move Organiser

For an office move to happen smoothly and without disruption, it requires a co-ordinator who is responsible for organising the entire office move from start to finish.  This individual will require meticulous organisation skills in order to ensure that everything happens on time, matters are communicated clearly, and tasks are responsibly delegated. 

Whether you've organised an office move before, or this is your first time, it's a good idea to brush up on your organisational skills with these practical tips: 

Have a Daily Master List

Download the Moving Office Checklist.  This will provide you with a master list of all the tasks that need to be completed in the run up to your office move.  Print it off and have it by your desk so you can review it daily to check your office move is on track.

Look Ahead

Prepare a Timeline of a events using the Moving Office Timetable. It will enable you to look ahead so you know what's coming and you can prepare for them fully.

Delegate

Moving office is a team effort so involve other key people within your organisation and meet regularly to discuss the progress of the office move project.

De-clutter

Moving office is a great opportunity to have a clear out. It will help you to get rid of stuff you no longer need, and will enable you get a clearer idea of exactly what needs to be moved.

Find a home for 10 things

Take a good look around and find 10 things that have been left lying around or getting in the way and find the right home for them. You may find that you will need more storage space in the new office.

Stay focused

It's easy for your brain to go into overdrive as your office move date draws closer, but resist the urge to drop everything, and instead focus on the task in hand.  If other thoughts come into your mind, jot them down on a notepad for later. When you're done with the task in hand you can get back to your notepad thoughts later.
