Task management is one of the most important aspects of improving efficiency. Be strategic in your thinking and tactical in your execution when it comes to efficiency. The number of tasks which make up any given day are at times immeasurable. There are some tasks you can do faster and some tasks take more time. Although tasks vary in nature, the importance of completing tasks in the most efficient and effective manner is the same. Time is money and strategic thinking towards the goal of improved efficiencies mean more dollars flowing to your organization’s bottom line.
As a former project manager, I was often overloaded and overworked which made work-life stressful and overwhelming at times. Thankfully, I worked for a large corporation and the organization was able to bring in some outside consultants who showed us some useful tactical tools and techniques. Studies have confirmed that although organizations understand that strategic thinking, when it comes to new ideas and new ways of learning are beneficial, most organizations either don’t know where to seek out the competent guidance they need, or they don’t have the resources to engage high-level consulting firms who could help.
