Course architecture
"Effectiveness is doing things right, efficiency is doing the right things. A manager must be efficient and effective.
This quote from Peter Drucker aptly expresses the approach we propose. Our method is based on three main pillars. Tangible and applicable, you can easily adapt it to your reality.
UA 1 - Taking stock

In particular, they will be able to identify effective practices that will enable them to optimize their workload management and monitor and control their various activities.
UA 2 - Pillar 1 - Effective planning for the short, medium and long term
For managers, planning is the fundamental basis for managing time and controlling all their activities. Our method improves planning while minimizing the time required to achieve it. It combines rigor and flexibility. This approach offers multiple benefits such as better use of resources, more effective prioritization, stress reduction and improved decision-making.

UA 4 - Second pillar - Prioritization skills
Prioritization is a strategic and essential skill for a manager. It involves determining the order in which tasks, projects or objectives should be handled, based on their importance, urgency and available resources. It is crucial to optimize resources, achieve strategic objectives, reduce stress, improve decision-making and better manage the overall activities of a company or work team.

UA 5 - Third pillar - Sticking to the plan
While planning is fundamental to good time management, it's just as crucial to know how to stick to your plans. This respect is based on a series of essential principles that are key to it. Managers must also be its promoters, indeed, its guardians. To begin this module, we propose a self-assessment test to participants, enabling them to become aware of their current methods and attitudes. This will enable them to adopt key practices that can make a real difference to their time management.
By the end of the module, participants will also be familiar with practices for effective delegation.
