3 What’s happening?


Would you believe that the financial crisis erupted in August 2008! It still represents a significant threat to the world economy. We are still seeing this affecting organisations’ investment decisions as well as their employees’ incomes, their job and, inevitably, their happiness and loyalty.


People are finding that their jobs are becoming significantly more difficult and in some cases are changing radically. That’s where this guide will help. We all know that the current situation will end; we just don’t know when! We don’t know whether further downsizing will affect us or not, or whether the slow road to recovery will affect us more…


one thing is for sure, time will still be in short supply…


This guide is intended to provide an insight for managers and staff at all levels to be able to continue to ‘do more with less’. The tools and techniques discussed will help you to learn, maximise that learning and develop throughout your career and life.


Motivating yourself and the people around you can also be a great challenge, even after you’ve provided them with the skills and support they require. Having less people doing more can seem impossible, but with the right understanding, a little knowledge and some motivational tools and techniques you can make a big difference.


Being able to think, learn, motivate and work effectively used to be regarded as ‘nice to haves’. This perspective was often combined with the view that our ability to learn, be creative, solve problems and read quickly is fixed. That view is outdated. We now know that by doing things differently we get different results. We just need to make sure we are doing the right things.
