Internationally Renowned Productivity Specialist Claire Burge Joins Uskape

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Uskape, The Connected Workspace that brings your world together to increase productivity and transform the way we work, today announced that Claire Burge, renowned productivity expert, is joining the company as a product strategist and evangelist.

"Claire brings a unique perspective to the Uskape team as she specializes in workplace behavioral issues and their impact on the bottom line," said Steven Berlin, Uskape co-founder and CEO. "No one else in the industry has a perspective on workflow improvement like Claire's, as her experience in working with companies to enhance organizational collaboration is not just focused on technology implementation, but also psychology and behavior change."

Uskape is poised to transform the way we work by tearing down the digital walls separating our communications and apps, by integrating industry standard, single-function apps into one centralized ecosystem. Built to integrate contacts, calendars, content, commitments, and communications through the use of users' favorite third party apps or the program's tools, Uskape eliminates information overload and the hassle of juggling multiple applications. By bringing focus and clarity through connection, Uskape provides the much-needed context to work that is otherwise difficult to obtain given the current tools available. 

"What excites me about Steven and the Uskape team is that they understand the impact systems have on behavior which means that they have not just built a product but also a framework which fundamentally ties all the important parts of people's working lives together," said Burge.  "Uskape handles meetings, documents, tasks, communication and teams in an integrated way. This is essential because the world of work is changing fast. I am joining Uskape to change for the better how we all work."

Burge, a productivity expert, who heads up the international company GetOrganised in Ireland and consults on business turnaround projects for Fortune 100 companies such as EY, Johnson and Johnson, PWC and KPMG, looking to improve workplace productivity, also delivers workshops and public talks. Claire is also a sought-after speaker and has been a regular blogger and contributor for 99U and LifeHack.

Inundated with emails hindering her daily productivity, Burge embarked upon an experiment to ban using email for 12 months that ultimately saved her more than three hours each day. After reclaiming her day from email, she then wrote "Spin: Taking Your Creativity to the Nth Degree" to document how she spends all of her reclaimed time. 

"Managing a business through email is not an effective strategy anymore. I gave up email in 2012 and I've never gone back," said Burge. "My workday is no longer dictated by my inbox. Instead, I open Uskape. What makes Uskape so intriguing as a productivity software is its ability to allow users to individually and effortlessly blend applications like meetings, project tasks, contacts and more to effectively organize and manage work and collaboration."
