Situation

Do you find that your job is getting increasingly complex? There is simply just too much information out there to take in? Even if you could read it all, it’s too difficult to assimilate? As for keeping it all in your head, well that seems impossible. It’s as if your internal RAM is full–up. Perversely, information gathered at meetings and courses actually makes it worse instead of making it better. For example, do you diligently take reams of notes but never refer to them again?

 

Solution 

Using visual tools gives you methods to cut through the complexity of information. By focusing on the main ideas you are able to fit them into frameworks that build up your understanding. You can capture and organise, on one sheet, far more information than you can achieve in just your mind alone. Making your thoughts visible relieves you of the burden of information overload, giving you a method to control and manage it.

 

Benefits 

When you use visual tools to handle information overload you can expect to:

• - Speed up the rate at which you identify key messages
• I- ncrease your ability to synthesize information across different sources
• - Deepen your knowledge base
• - Communicate information with greater clarity and effectiveness
• - Identify creative connections across a range of topics
• - Imprint key concepts into long–term memory
• - Produce concise notes that trigger sustained understanding
• - SAVE TIME AND ENERGY

 

In Practice 

Established and newly qualified Heads from Doncaster, recently attended our HeadView course. The days were specifically designed to help heads make sense of the deluge of information they have to deal with. Newly qualified Heads attended the first day with their established colleagues joining and supporting them on day 2. The two days were highly recommended by those who attended and the Local Authority advisor who booked it.
