Less Friction, More Flow

We are all striving to get more done, to be more efficient and to deliver great quality work. But even with the most effective personal organisation systems in place, our productivity is very much dependent on those around us. Conversely, their productivity is also dependent on us. Unfortunately this means the effectiveness of the whole team can be compromised all too easily if your productivity cultures are not as healthy as they could be. Instead of working together in a way that creates work-flow, we are at risk of creating work-friction.

In today’s connected workplace, we need less friction, and more flow. We need to develop team cultures that allow productivity to flourish, and to be sustained at the highest level, over a long period of time.

Running a Smart Teams Masterclass is a powerful way to improve the productivity culture within your team, division or organisation. Your people will not only learn how to work better together, they will also walk away with a set of productivity agreements that will drive a change in behaviour and a change in culture.

The series is based on Dermot Crowley’s Smart Teams book, and is built around the three productivity cultures that we believe have the most impact on the productivity of your team: your communication culture, your meeting culture and your prioritisation culture. Choose between the communication masterclass that will reduce the communicate noise your team experiences, the meeting masterclass that will reduce the burden of too many meetings, or the prioritisation masterclass that will reduce unnecessary urgency and create a more proactive, importance-driven culture.

Whilst it may seem appealing to try to work on all three cultures at once, we recommend that you don’t. Choose one culture to work on – the one that will have the most impact for your team, and focus on that for the next few months.

It takes time and energy to create a cultural shift. We will help you create a project to embed the right strategies and team agreements, and explore ways to keep everyone engaged and inspired until this new way of working becomes the norm.
