About PEP
What is it
and what do you get from it?
You get to focus on the things that count,
both for yourself and for the business. You devote your energy and time to the
highest payback activities and you minimize the drain from low value tasks. In
short, you get more done in less time with less effort. It makes work more rewarding
for you and the company.
The programme combines training and coaching. It
usually takes three sessions, spread over about three months. The training takes
a couple of hours and the rest is coaching - in your place of work. So rather
than being away from work, you are actually progressing your work whilst you do
the programme. Is it time management? Yes,
in a broad sense. It's much more 'personal process' management. That's where the
coaching
at the desk comes in. Everybody has personal preferences in the way
they work and the coaching takes these into account whilst passing on best practice.
You get the chance to stand back and examine your managerial and administrative
work patterns and workflows. You'll find ways to cut the |

wasted
effort and the loss of energy that inevitably
occurs
in today's busy workplaces. So, yes, you do claw back considerable time - along
with energy and concentration. And you'll have a much clearer view of what adds
value and what doesn't. To quote Allan Hawke, Australia's Secretary for Defence,
'I did it and found it made a very big difference to my personal efficiency. By
comparison, all the other time management workshops I attended, were a complete
waste of time'. You can see countless similar statements in the UK testimonial
packs.
What do the three sessions typically cover?
The programme
actually starts before the three sessions begin. You and your fellow attendees
will receive a short, pre-programme questionnaire. This allows the lead coach
to tailor the sessions to the group's specific needs, within the basic template
of the programme.Day One:
Two hours or so of
interactive workshop on the basic principles.
This includes getting a profile
of where your time and focus typically go right now. You'll examine the best ways
for you personally to work, to get the most done in the shortest time.
At the
desk and for the rest of the day, you'll organise yourself and your information
streams (meetings, interactions, files, use of your computer) for the maximum
productive use of your time. Your coach will help. Day

The topics will vary according to the

34%
of internal business e-mails are unnecessary.
27% of office staff spend more
than an hour a day managing their e-mails.(Gwendolyn Mariano, News.com) |
How
many people should attend?
Depending on seniority,
about five or six people per group session. The more discretionary time a manager
or executive has, the more individual coaching time he or she will need. Senior
executives with dedicated secretarial support may need a different coaching programme*.So
it's not a 'one size fits all' programme?
Far from it. Whilst it uses
a basic template the world over (there are some 20 countries where Institutes
for Business Technology deliver PEP) we always adapt and tailor for the corporate
culture and for specific individual requirements. We ask you about your situation
first, check relevance constantly throughout the programme, and measure results
afterwards.
