Organizational and Meeting Management Skills using MS Outlook

Course Description

This course is designed for managers who realise that creating a To Do list does not solve their difficulties in managing their work or freeing up time. They recognise that how they manage or participate in the greatest time thief of all - non productive meetings - impacts on what they can achieve and how they are perceived. They require a practical, reality-based set of techniques and strategies to be more effective and less stressed.
