Performance Accelerator
The Performance Accelerator Programme – Performing Under Pressure in the Information Age
The programme has a simple business case – it will reduce the percentage of time your workforce spends on unproductive activity in a way that is measurable and sustainable.
- Are your people always on the go, multitasking, coping with information 24/7?
- Are they working harder than ever but struggling to hit targets and objectives?
- Has technology become as much a distraction as a time saver?
- Have you tried time management or sales training with little impact?
- Could you do with training which focuses on performance and behaviour rather than nice ideas?
We deliver the Performance Accelerator Programme in association with another business psychologist, Rob Archer and together we are convinced that organisations in the information age are trading effectiveness for activity.
We believe that there is measurable competitive advantage in understanding how our minds respond to too much information. This course identifies ways to optimise and sustain measurable improvements to performance in the age of information overload.
Outcomes of the Performance Accelerator Programme:
By focusing on behaviour change, we help people to make sense of their busy working lives as well as cope with the barriers to performance which they inevitably experience: Outcomes include:
- reduction in frenetic but ineffective activity
- improved use of information technology (particularly email)
- heightened ability to focus on the task for optimal effectiveness
- greater clarity of goals and objectives
- understanding of proven cognitive behavioural techniques for dealing with difficult thoughts and feelings
- heightened motivation and commitment
The key driver of enhanced work effectiveness is resilience. By improving peoples’ capacity to perform under pressure and bounce back from setbacks, we help people perform far more effectively in busy and demanding work environments.
Who would benefit from the Programme?
- sales teams
- leadership teams
- customer service teams
- virtual teams
- project teams
- knowledge workers
- front line staff operating under pressure
By focusing on practical behaviour change in the workplace we ensure that training translates into more effective work behaviours and ultimately, better performance. Using well-validated research instruments, changes in key dimensions of individuals’ performance can be measured before and after the programme so that success is not simply anecdotal but factual.
