If they are, and accept your help, remember that what works for you may not work for them. For instance, if you are a highly analytical person, a clear desk, an organizer and files in drawers may work very well, but, if the other person is highly visual and creative, your system will miserably failed when applied to them. There are many resources to help you understand a different organizing and time management style, such as Organizing from the Inside Out, by Julie Morgenstern, Organizing from the Right Side of the Brain, by Lee Silber, Organizing for the Creative Person, by Lehmkuhl and Lamping, for instance.
In any case, make sure that the person actually does meet the criteria for a disorganized person, and that they are willing to make the changes. And, please, please, don't waste your time calling an organizer to organize this person if they are not ready. I can't tell you how many such calls I have received... Either you will talk to a good organizer, who will insist on talking directly to the person and will make sure that the person is willing and ready before accepting the job, or you will waste your money.
