It was 1996, when I've started my first job at a Swiss owned travel industry after graduated. I was introduced with it, "Pigeon Hole". That is the big cupboard with many chambers which documents are slotted in it with respective categories. We have put client's personal case files inside month by months. About nine to ten Europeans and twenties local staff members were using it as a mean of communication system. If you want to know about one client, you can straight away go and see in their case file in it. I found it plays as a major role in communication and it's quite effective and time saving.
After that I was working for an Australian non-government organization, about eighty staff members have been used it with respective personal names as well as project office names from different states and divisions. You have to check your chamber everyday for any incoming and outgoing things including letters and some small materials. Even communicates with staff members from project offices without wasting time while communications was not widely accessible to some project offices at that time.
After knowing it's usefulness, I have introduced it in project office for one organization while I was involved in setting up the office new state and also in another organization while establishing new department for their head office. It was quite useful so far till at that time.
Recently, I have done again one in the new company, my aim was to sort the paper in their categories so that everybody can work smoothly. It also help me to save more time for my work as they can directly come and access it whenever they want. Boss accepted my idea and introduced it in one corner of company nearby my working desk. I don't know weather they are not knowing about it's usefulness......... First month, second month, third month..... they only ask me to put and take their papers from this "Pigeon Hole" and no changes in their repeated problem for losing papers ........finally............instead of saving my time on keeping documents....... I feel like I am becoming like a sales Clark from Chinese traditional medicine shop....... Instead of searching themselves, they straight away come to me and asking me keeping and taking their documents...... :(
