Background
Lawyers tend to focus very much on gettingthier work done, rather than how they get their work done. They want to give clients an outstanding service and deliver on time. Our job was to help them think differently about thow they use their time to acheive client goals.
Need
Challenge the lawyers’ perceptions of how they use their time, to provide useful strategies and tips to sue time more effectively.
Activity
We used a number of strategies to encourage lawyers to look again at how they use their time.
Time analysis formed part of this. We used a pre-course questionnaire and utilisation data to inform this debate.
- Does time dictate the task, or does the task fill the time?
- Personality drivers of time behaviours.
- Daily goals.
- Managing yourself not the task.
- What do you need to achieve today this week?
- What does an amzing day / week look like?
- How do we measure quality?
- Managing expactations of colleaues and clients.
- Time management strategies and tips.
- Personal actions.
Outcomes
Particpants left the training with specific time management goals as well as overal behavioural actions.
