Benefits of effective adoption

If you have read all the chapters so far, I am sure your work efficiency has increased considerably. You can save significant amount of time every day and use it to perform activities that can add value to your life and drive your growth.

In the same way, if everyone in the organization is more efficient, the organization will grow more and faster. Everyone benefits.

I gather quantitative customer feedback after all the sessions I conduct. Typically, after a two-hour session (in-person or online) the average time saving estimated entered by the audience in the feedback form is 40 minutes per day per person.

In addition, we have many other benefits that are intangible but equally important:

  • Better work-life balance
  • More motivated workforce
  • Less operational risk due to reduced errors
  • Better-quality documents/presentations
  • New actionable insights from better analytics
  • Better time management
  • Faster project execution...
