There was a time when business relocations could be planned well in advance, when fewer projects were fast tracked, when business did not operate 24/7, when the lease signing, design, built-out, and move did not all take place within a 12 month time frame. While technology speeds how we work and communicate, it compounds the relocation and expansion process. There are simply more complex factors and more people with whom to contract for services, from the utility companies to computer networkers to telecommunications technicians who must always work a few steps ahead of the furniture installers.
If you are looking for quality of life, expansion and having to relocate, then the site selection is critical. Our tools and list of strategic planning model and tips will help you make the best location decision by prioritizing and evaluating your plan and its goals.
Once that's done it's time to form a Moving Committee, so the task can be delegated. Our Moving Out 101 section walks you through a fairly large project, outlining action points and issues you can expect to address for up to one year before move to one month a after the move date.
An essential Business Movers Guide describes what to do right and the Not-to-Do list is all part of our mover relocation packet. Use our E-list, print and distribute it to your employees and your moving committee, so everyone can literally be on the same page. Contact us for the complete packet that we'll gladly send you, for free.
