Getting Things Done®

Duration: 2x 4 hour sessions

The Level 1 Getting Things Done (GTD) training helps improve productivity by teaching the skills to manage the constant flow of requests, tasks, and interruptions people face at all levels of an organisation.

By learning how to capture, clarify, and organise incoming requests, people are more likely to make strategic decisions about where to invest their time and energy, be efficient at work, focus on the right priorities, and prevent critical projects from slipping. They are less likely to experience stress and burnout - more likely to experience efficiency and productivity.

Research shows that when just one or two team members make even small fumbles (miss deadlines, work on the wrong priorities, or forget tasks), team productivity is cut by an average of 24%.

On the other hand, teams that have a shared process for managing workflow foster trust, engagement, and efficient execution.

Based on the iconic bestseller by David Allen, the skills taught in Getting Things Done® have been shown to relieve cognitive load, allow for increased focus, even result in optimal experience and peak performance.
