Getting Things Done (Virtual)
Getting Things Done teaches skills individuals can immediately apply to better focus on the most meaningful work, organize information, prioritize commitments, create mental space for innovation, and achieve stress-free productivity.
Combining research with powerful and proven instructional design, Getting Things Done (GTD) Training brings practical productivity skills to life for the modern learner – yielding improved individual effectiveness, project efficiency, meaningful productivity, team innovation and relationships.
Who needs this training?
Are you always busy but rarely productive? Do you start your day with good intentions and finish further behind? Are you letting others (or yourself) down because you don’t follow through on commitments? If you are falling victim to work overload, modern-workplace chaos, and the overwhelming anxiety that comes from too much to do (and not enough time), this training is right for you. GTD Training uses a common language and system to help individuals, teams and organizations manage their mind, time, space, stress, and productivity.
TURN CHAOS INTO CONTROL
Learn a system to reduce mental clutter and take control of your thoughts and tasks.
ALIGN FOCUS AND ACTIONS
Learn practical skills to reduce decision fatigue and focus on next actions.
INCREASE PRODUCTIVE MOMENT
Gain skills that, when applied consistently to the right tasks and projects, create more stress-free, productive moments.
IMPROVE INDIVIDUAL EFFECTIVENESS
With productive moments, yield increased reliability, efficiency and effectiveness in the projects and moments that matter most.
Personal Productivity Equals Team Power
The success of critical projects and programs requires the skill, energy, and focus of every team member. 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.
What is Getting Things Done?
The GTD methodology was developed 30 years ago by New York Times bestselling author David Allen. The course teaches skills to manage the constant flow of requests, tasks, and interruptions people face at all levels of the organization. By learning how to capture, clarify, and organize incoming requests, people are more likely to make strategic decisions about where to invest their time and energy, focus on the right priorities, and prevent critical projects from slipping. When used consistently and collectively, GTD skills also give teams a “way of working” for improved results.
