CHALLENGES IN ORGANISATIONS

Modern organisations need to be agile, lean and adaptive. Every knowledge worker is in effect, a project manager.

Many knowledge workers are stressed to the point of inefficiency. Email, web-task-lists and workflow collaboration systems are adding to, not relieving the strain.

In many ways, email is a symptom of the problem. Knowledge workers are juggling increasing numbers of projects and priorities. Research has shown: -

  • Only one in five employees say they have a clear “line of sight” between their tasks and their team’s and organisation’s goals
  • Only half were satisifed with the work they’d accomplished at the end of the week
  • Progress and accomplishments are not visible unless time is spent writing status reports
  • There are always opportunities to reduce risk and improve project execution

OUR SOLUTION

Goshido distills Lean, Agile and GTD down to a no-nonsense approach, so that teams can deploy them and see an immediate benefit in running their projects.

Goshido is more than just software. Our training programme is split into a number of modules and runs for two days. The modules include: -

  • Project Management and Productivity Techniques
  • Using Goshido to leverage Agile, Lean, GTD and Pomodoro
  • Running your projects in Goshido
  • Goshido is more that just software and training. We work with you to help your teams embrace the software to maximise the return on investment for your business.
