Mastering Time Management and Organizational Skills
To increase the odds of successfully completing any project,
a team member must understand how to estimate task work and then perform that
work in the most effective manner. Members must also know how to effectively
present and receive information and face change in a positive way. All of these
skills often require effecting personal change. In this workshop, participants
will learn what change is and how people respond to it. They will also learn
what information is critical to ?? ...and what methods are most effective in
various scenarios. Lastly, they will learn to evaluate and minimize ‘time
wasters’, more effectively estimate work effort, determine priorities, and
delegate more effectively.
This 2-day workshop uses examples and exercises to demonstrate the various
aspects of handling change. Examples are worked on together in class, with the
instructor demonstrating or explaining the operations, and the participants
performing the same operations. Exercises are case study-based and are performed
by the participants on their own or in small groups to allow them to practice.
The case studies are selected by the team from three possible cases — an awards
banquet project, a new software package implementation, and a building
restoration — thus allowing participants to select a project to which they can
best relate.
