Execution Happens
Based on the best selling book Fake “Work”.
Why people are working harder than ever, but accomplishing less, and how to fix the problem
Execution Happens™ Work Session
“Work” refers to the work of individuals & teams. This session takes strategic intent and strategic objectives, ensuring they make sense to you, and translates them into it action.
Execution Happens is about building support around you, and your team, and conversely, ensuring that you become a strong team member.
Ultimately, it is about helping you cut the “Fake Work” that steals your vitality and value, and helping you create “Real Work” that brings you a sense of accomplishment and with it the rewards of great work.
The Benefits of the Work Session
Execution Happens™ provides a straightforward and practical approach to accomplishing even the most ambitious goals. This workshop can bring significant benefits. We know that:
- Each worker, each member of a team in an organization, can significantly increase the value of their contribution by reducing Fake Work and increasing their execution.
- By working with your work team and aligning yourself with a unified, strategic focus you will discover new ways to add value to the organization and find new ways to be proud of and satisfied with what you do.
- Following this work session, you will be equipped to complete several Real Work tasks that are directly connected to your organization’s strategic goals. The cumulative effect of this effort can be enormous for you and your organization.
Work Session Objectives
This is a work session, not training. This is all about focusing on the work you must do to serve the highest purposes of your organisation and your personal standards of performance. We expect the following objectives will be reached during this session:
- Better understand your company strategy.
- Utilize tools that clarify and communicate strategic focus.
- Identify real work tasks linked to strategy.
- Prioritize real work tasks through the view of the work team.
- Develop plans to complete each prioritized real work task.
There is a Pre-Work Session requirement to complete the “Review Your Work” exercise, and requirement to present this at the start of the day.
