The ONE DAY workshop will help participants be more productive and cut through day-to-day complexity, ensuring personal as well as corporate success!

“ To make knowledge-work productive will be the great management task of this century.”
Peter Drucker, 1969

“ Complexity is holding our industry back right now…
this is the industry’s biggest challenge.”
28 Oct 2004, The economist

The great management guru Peter Drucker saw how large a challenge we faced in improving knowledge worker productivity. Almost four decades later, it’s not only critical, but now we have increasing complexity piled on top of the original challenge. Something must be done, now !

We need to focus on three areas:

Simplify processes to increase productivity
Enhance personal, team and management communication
Ensure that every experience for both employees and customers is simple, clear and easy to use

Who Should Attend?

Directors, Heads of Dept, IT Directors, HR/Training Heads, Finance Directors, Internal Consultants, and those who wants to build a simpler environment, simpler products and simpler user experiences !
