Public course
Working more efficiently
Tuesday 16 October 2012
14.00 to 17.30
This is our version of a time management course – tailored to meet the specific needs of architects. It takes half a day and has been well received as a basic primer for anyone working in the profession who wants to make better use of their time.
It is run by John Forrester, who has many years of experience helping architects to manage themselves, whether through training or individual coaching. It is full of practical ideas on how time management techniques can be applied to the profession and looks at both personal and systematic issues to link proven theory with day-to-day reality.
Topics addressed:
• How is time used now?
• Working out how it could be used to better effect
• What is stopping it being used better?
• Assessing and controlling your use of time
• Delegation
• Making the best of the circadian energy cycle
• Setting priorities
• General and short-term planning
• Dealing with the things that waste time
• Coping with emails
• Making meetings more effective
As with all Colander training, this course is workshop in its style. It draws on John’s personal expertise, as well as proven theory and advice, supported by group discussions and activities. Numbers are limited to allow a lively, interactive session and make sure that the teaching is relevant to each delegate; all delegates receive a comprehensive set of bound course notes.
