New technology, same old issues.

How we work and communicate has changed dramatically as newer, faster, better technologies have been developed.  But for all this technology, we are still struggling with the same old issues!

  • How do we prioritise?
  • How do we control the deluge of incoming work?
  • How do we work proactively in a reactive workplace?

Adapt Productivity has developed a powerful method for training people to be more productive.  We blend tested productivity enhancing principles with the power and functionality of Gmail. We take the theory and show you how to implement it in the technology. We focus on creating real behavioural change with our practical, hands on training.

The learning does not stop once the workshop ends. Our follow up online program, Making it Stick, is a blended learning solution that maximises the behavioural change for all attendees. Participants receive six weekly emails after the workshop. Each email links them to a short video and a whitepaper designed to reinforce the learning and keep them moving forward on the path to increased productivity. We know you will be thrilled with the results.

Steve Mater, Executive Manager Investment Sales, CommSec

You have revolutionised my life! Our session on Wednesday was a game-changer for me! Unlike most courses, where I begin seriously invested and drift off half way through, I actually found myself becoming more invested in what you were saying as the day progressed.  

Monique Hope-Pearson, Group Legal Council, Connective Broker Services

Adapt’s integrated approach to managing inputs, actions and outcomes through centralised action planning has made a world of difference to how I operate and what I get done.  Achieving a zero inbox has taken a weight off my shoulders and I feel more in control of my time.

Steven Ford, Managing Director, Bulbeck Group

I am delighted to report that today, the team are totally energised and working diligently to implement the new systems.  The office has a completely different feel, a warmth of positive energy.
