Date: Fri 24 May 2024

You wouldn’t believe how much time the average manager loses each year due to needless interruptions at work. And that’s just one of the many barriers stopping us from being as productive as we could be.

We live in a world of efficiency where speed and being responsive is a constant focus for everyone.  We need to ensure that we plan and prioritise our day so that we are allocating the right amount of time to important tasks and not spending all of our time on urgent tasks.

Course Description

Over a 3 hour remote session we will aim to equip participants with some key tools and techniques to help maximise productivity.

This course will be short, sharp and punchy, because effective planning and prioritisation shouldn’t take a lot of time!

Most of the session will take the form of interactive group discussions and exercises.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

  • Use the Time Management Matrix to recognise where they are currently spending their time and consider ways to increase the amount of time being spent on the most important tasks.
  • Describe and apply the 6 steps to working SMARTER not HARDER.
  • Learn about the only 3 tasks that need to be completed and understand how to prioritise the most important tasks first.
  • Identify the consequences of multi-tasking and the impact that this can have on quality of output.
  • Apply the “Power of Focus” to day-to-day activities.
  • Ask questions about current situations and benefit from the expertise of the facilitators.
  • Appreciate the importance of following a process when delegating tasks and be able to identify who to delegate tasks to.
  • Create an action plan that will help you to apply all the learning that you get from the course.

Benefits to your business

Productivity is a major issue for most organisations today as we continue to adapt to new ways of working following the pandemic, including remote and hybrid.

An organisation whose managers understand how to prioritise their time, and that of their colleagues – and work smarter rather than harder – can make some incredible efficiency gains in a short space of time.

Across the organisation savings like that can really add up, enabling your organisation to do a whole lot more with the same resources. The results can potentially impact the bottom line in terms of profitability.
