Personal & Organisational Time Management

Personal & Organisational Time Management

As the saying goes – time waits for no-one! This course is different from other time management training in that it looks at managing ones own time together with strategies for managing time within teams, and even the organisation as a whole.

Think of how a theatre play has to stick to time. Every actor has to be in the right position at exactly the right time to deliver their lines at the precise moment. The play also has to stick to a finishing time, and this must be the same for every performance.

Think of how a TV production has a strict filming schedule (which the actors and entire crew must work to), but which also must be edited to fit within a strict broadcasting time-slot – right down to the second.

Now think of a scenario in which someone asks if they can have a couple of minutes of your time but half an hour later they are still there!

If you don’t manage time then time will manage you….
