Management Efficiency
Everyday there seems to be more to be done with less money and fewer resources. We all work hard, but accomplishing more with less requires more than hard work. We need more efficient and simpler ways of managing.
Do you realize that 80% of the results that an organization works for everyday are achieved by only 20% of the work that is done? Think about what could be accomplished if an organization focused its efforts on the 20% of work that really mattered.
We help our clients get better results with less effort by:
- Identifying the 20% of work that matters
- Eliminating wasteful activities
- Efficiently using existing resources and talents
- Developing key indicators to keep performance on track.

New Book "Green Within Reach" Now Available
My new book Green within Reach, A Practical Guide to Green Real Estate Management, is now available on Amazon.com. The book received Five Stars (out of Five) from ForeWord Clarion Review:
“Developing a green operation and maintenance plan is a vital step in ensuring
consistent and optimal performance,” Weaver writes. In this book, he lays out clear,
concise steps to turning a commercial building into a clean, lean, green machine.In general, American businesses are sold on the efficiencies of green buildings,
which have been shown to lower maintenance costs by about 13 percent and consume 26
percent less energy. But some landlords and building operators are reluctant to do the
retrofits necessary to capture these tenants—largely because of misconceptions about the
upfront costs of greening an existing building.Weaver is out to prove them wrong. Most of his recommendations require little if
any capital outlay and begin cutting back operational expenses immediately. Some are as
simple as monitoring the use of electricity and water.Weaver, whose extensive background in real estate covers most aspects of the
industry, from development and construction to financing and asset management, is a
licensed property manager and broker, having earned just about every green certification
the industry has to offer. He holds the National Association of Realtors’ Green
Designation and is a LEED-Accredited Professional, a designation awarded by the US
Green Building Council, of which he is a member.Weaver’s practical suggestions for everything from improving energy efficiency
to site sustainability to pest control can benefit not only the building owners, developers,
and property managers for whom he writes, but also homeowners looking for low-cost,
effective conservation methods. But he stresses that real efficiency requires more than a
scatter-shot approach. It takes a plan.If a serious commitment to going green is on the agenda, Green Within Reach is a
great first step in creating a successful blueprint.
