EFFICIENCY
Nine of ten GTD graduates report permanently changing a time-management behavior. They also report that their new time management skills save them an average of 21 to 40 minutes EACH DAY.
EXECUTION
VitalSmarts research shows people who use the GTD skills are 55 times less likely to say they start projects that never get finished and 18 times less likely to say they often feel overwhelmed.
PERFORMANCE
At Qualtrics, 100% of GTD graduates improved their ability to hit deadlines and deliver on commitments. And 96% said GTD helped them improve their daily effectiveness or ability to execute and stay on course.
TIME MANAGEMENT
At MasterControl, 80% of GTD graduates said they are better at processing their email inbox. They also reported a strong correlation between their new GTD skills and a positive trend in customer feedback.
ENGAGEMENT
Teams that have a shared process for managing and executing work foster cultures of trust and engagement. At Menlo Innovations, the GTD skills not only generated results, but also reduced stress and increased joy in the workplace.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Are you looking for team or individual training?
Productivity is a Team Effort
Organizational success requires the attention and skill of every team member. Research shows that when just one or two team members make even small fumbles, team productivity is cut by an average of 24 percent. On the other hand, teams that have a shared process for managing workflow foster trust, engagement, and efficiency.
