Tips for Moving Your Office Location

The consultants at Corporate Business Solutions help business owners create and implement growth strategies, including the strategy behind moving to a new location. Regardless of the size or scope of your office move, it’s all about the time and detail that you put into the plan. Starting early on a moving plan is crucial to your success. If you have been tasked to work on a move project, you should first recognize that moving is just a process. Break it down into phases and map them onto a timeline. It’s imperative that the details are precisely timed for a smooth transition between sites with little or no downtime. 

Here are easy tips that may help you have a successful move:

1. Develop Checklists – Once the phases are identified, develop comprehensive checklists showing all the details to be tracked and confirmed. Make sure the checklist for each phase is coordinated with your schedule. Ask your team members to contribute to making the checklists comprehensive. Review the checklists frequently to confirm tasks are being completed as planned at each phase and add new items as they arise.
2. Engage Your IT Team Early – IT services are critical to productivity and keeping all systems and processes running smoothly, as well as providing the connection to your customers. Transitioning these services to a new site requires thorough planning. Make relocation of IT and telecom infrastructures a primary area of focus in your plan. Engage your IT team early and work closely with them to time transitions of business-critical systems.
3. Focus on the Plan – Many companies underestimate the time that you and other employees on the team are about to invest in planning and coordinating the office move. Remember, you may also have to balance your existing workload and commitments with moving responsibilities. Make sure your management understands the value in planning and the time commitment required.
