Background
This is a highly professional team delivering expertise to their clients in UK. As business grows the organisation needs to make sure work behaviours and systems are as efficient as possible.
Need
The need was simply to help each person in the office to explore new ways to become more efficient.
Activity
We started with a pre-workshop task which asked the participants to record and analyse their activity over a three day period.
The short full day workshop, focussed on the behaviours which could help people improve efficiency. This was different for each person.
We used our behavioural change expertise and behavioural action planning tool. this helped each person to frame the chnages they wanted to make.
Outcomes
The impact and actions from the training included the following:
“I’m going to make a list every morning of what I know I have to do that day, and order in by urgency and importance. Then I’ll go through it that way rather than by doing the easiest stuff first. Then if anything new comes up I will judge it’s urgency and add it to the list accordingly.”
“If there is a change in the internal system of how we work:
Don’t get stressed.. Think about the benefit with the new change and the disadvantage without the change.”
“Stop and think about how important the issue actually is. Don’t just interrupt X because she is there. Make notes either in a list/email and catch up when is convenient for both parties.”
