The Programme

The Programme

Workwise is a modular programme. For greatest results, the training is delivered over a 4-7 week period. We adopt an appropriate mix of teaching and coaching to suit the individuals and groups we are working with.

In general, participants spend 40% of the time allocated in a training room and 60% at their desks applying the principles with the aid of the Workwise facilitator.

It is the time spent in the application, over an extended period of time, and the individual coaching at participant’s desks that enables Workwise to produce the greatest results – facilitating behaviour change and maximising training outcomes.

MODULE 1: FLOW AND SPACE

Participants analyse the way work and the way information flows through their workspace. They are able to identify bottlenecks and ineffective work practices. By applying the Workwise principles, they are able to make quick and accurate decisions about what to do, when to do it and to act on those decisions.

Participants are provided with a systematic way to store and retrieve information. Eliminate unnecessary paper and files and become more focused.

The usual time commitment for Module 1 is 9am to 2pm

Lotus Notes and Group Wise users are also catered for.

For best results Module 2 should be conducted one to two weeks after Module 1. The usual time commitment is 9am-2pm

 

 

Time Management


MODULE 3: TIME MANAGEMENT

Once participants have set up a system to manage the Flow of information and a Space that supports this, they are able to take a wider look at how they achieve their results. They will learn how to prioritise and make decisions on how they use their time. Learn techniques for managing their diary and tasks that will ensure that what is being done are the ‘high return’ activities – the ones that get results.

For best results Module 3 should be conducted 2 weeks after Module 2. The usual time commitment is 9am-1pm
