More life, less drag

More life, Less drag

At Red Tuxedo, we help people who are good at what they do, do more of what they want to do, with less drag. We provide productivity and organizing systems and training. Our clients can focus on the life and work they want, confident that their systems will help them remain on top “everything else.”  We work with people who:

• Are managing challenging careers, volunteer commitments, and blended families
• Are transitioning from a corporate position to self-employment, or from post-doc to faculty and research
• Are surrounded with information that matters and want a better way to manage it (dashboards)
• Want to help their employees work more effectively
• Are moving from one office to another and want to use the opportunity to improve their systems
• Have been promoted

Call to find out more about what we can do for you, your work, and your company. We bring 15+ years of corporate experience in process design and improvement, quality management, and metrics to our consulting practice.

Guarantee

Red Tuxedo’s work is guaranteed; we will meet the targets established at the outset of our work together or we will return your investment. (For organizing services, these targets are generally a 10% improvement in your selected productivity metric.)

Principal

Karen Tiede is a certified Productive Environment Specialist (CPES) and brings the proven processes and systems developed by Barbara Hemphill at the Paper Tiger Productivity Institute to her organizing work.

How We Work

We believe that organizing is an art. You paint a picture of what you want to do, and we’ll help you create a system to get you there. At heart, Karen Tiede is a taxonomist, and her organizing practice centers around creating a classification system for the work you want to do, based on the way you think about your work and life. Our services include evaluation, design and implementation of systems for management of both digital and paper information, coaching, training, and on-going support.

We also offer consulting about specific idea-management situations, as well as coaching to make your presentation material more memorable. See the Services page for examples.
