Time Management

Managing Time

This NEW exercise is diary-planning, delegation and prioritisation all rolled into one! And at the end provides a score and impartial performance report for teams -or individuals - to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. This exercise is the updated, newly published version of our highly successful exercise 'Time Challenge' no longer available. (Requires ONE pc, or laptop, and a printer at the venue.)


How it works

Teams plan for one month in the life of a busy manager. A four-week diary must be filled in with those tasks teams decide the manager MUST do as well as a Delegation Sheet for those tasks not scheduled into the diary. Teams have information on short and long term objectives, routine work and the abilities of a three person team who they can delegate to. At the end of the exercise team decisions are fed into a computer and a six page report is produced on their performance together with that score out of 100.

What it does

Managing Time reveals key lessons about diary scheduling, delegating, time planning, prioritising and learning to plan. Many teams delegate without checking other people’s diaries; teams delegate to the wrong person and some miss scheduled appointments! Not after this exercise they won’t!!

Customer feedback

  • A first class way to test managers’ competencies. Thoroughly absorbing - and easy to run.

  • Interesting and challenging - and used as part of our Time Management Course.

    – M. Archer, BAE Systems

  • A very powerful exercise that generates both enjoyment and powerful learning. The greatest benefit to me was having the computer work out the scores.
