A comprehensive resource library equipped with templates, tools, and reference materials can boost your team’s efficiency by supporting the rapid onboarding of new hires, establishing professional standards, ensuring quality control, and encouraging knowledge sharing. Establishing a library of templates and tools allows your team to work more efficiently and consistently by keeping you organized with a standard set of resources.

Create a digital folder structure to organize your key documents, such as your executive summary, pitch deck, financial projections, product specifications, and market research. Build out templates for recurring outputs, such as project proposals and slide decks.

• Identify the documents, spreadsheets, and materials that you use most often in your work and convert them into templates.
• Build an organized library to store your tools and templates. 
• Be sure to utilize free or heavily discounted digital platforms during the early stages—don't feel pressured into getting enterprise software or tools immediately. For example, use Canva for digital assets and social media and Google slides for pitch decks.
• Schedule regular time to organize and update your library, as these knowledge management systems can quickly get messy and outdated. 
• Focus on adding the most critical materials and maintaining those items, rather than throwing everything into the library.
