The Private Office, based in Westchester County, New York, provides full-service office business centers (OBCs) at central locations in the region. The sites offer complex I.T. infrastructure, a 150-seat amphitheater, videoconferencing and full administrative support. Prominent clients have included Cemex, Morgan Stanley, the National Thoroughbred
Association, Pepsi and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The President of The Private Office, George Russell, founded the original company in 1985. He joined HQ Workplaces as a licensee in 1986 and later served with a number of other licensees on its strategic planning task force. His company became independent in 2003 and re-incorporated as The Private Office in 2005 in conjunction with the development of a second business center at 800 Westchester Avenue in Rye Brook, NY. |

Dear Colleagues and Clients:
In this issue, The Private Office offers a new business model for your consideration during these hard economic times. We have called it teleworking and management coordination, and it could save you a bundle in operating costs. The article appears immediately below, and we would be glad to consult with prospects on its implementation.
We are also eager to announce our new price incentives for 2009, a program designed to reduce risk exposure for using our office space. These incentives represent a real opportunity for entrepreneurs and established companies alike to change their office dynamics and structural arrangement.
Please feel free to pass this newsletter along to your corporate friends.
Sincerely,
George Russell |

Teleworking and Management Coordination  Our last newsletter addressed flextime and globalization, two themes focused on modifications to the standard business model. A related article appeared recently in The New York Times, titled "Working Away - Places once remote enough for leisure are now connected enough to be a base for a job."
While few of us can work for weeks on end from Crested Butte or Telluride, Colorado, the number of remote workers is steadily increasing. According to Scott Morrison, an analyst at Gartner, "about seven percent of American workers in mid-to large corporations now do some form of telecommuting [emphasis added]." Are small firms behind the curve in adapting their business model?
In my opinion, a smaller firm (under 50 employees) might be able to shed all of its conventional office space and establish a management center of say three-to-five persons in an office business center (OBC) while having the balance of the staff productively contributing as a mobile workforce.

 Office Space Incentives |
|
The Private Office is offering a generous incentive for its 2009 clients:
On a service agreement with a duration of six months or longer, new clients may opt out of their contract at any time during the initial 30 days.
What does this mean for businesses moving into The Private Office?
Well, first of all, it's like a money back guarantee. It says, "we're so confident you'll be happy in your new office, we'll give you your money back if you wish to move out during your first month. (please read the legal contract for exact terms)
And the reason why we're so sure? Well, in addition to our tangible services such as videoconferencing, VoIP, fiber optic network and courteous staff, The Private Office provides something you won't get at many other office business centers.
