Download the complete Administrator TBYL Overview.

This course enhances the productivity of Administrators by teaching them to create and maintain an Integrated Management System. This system uses Microsoft Office Outlook and MPS tools to process a constant stream of incoming electronic and voice mail, communications, next actions and projects.

Administrators learn how to focus effectively on the job without being hindered by a non-stop flood of required--but not necessarily urgent--input, decisions and actions. Employing a three-phase workflow method, they immediately apply the concepts taught to their current work. The system is flexible to adapt to each participant's work style and workload.

By the end of the one-day seminar, Administrators will experience a sense of relaxed, focused control, with all objectives, projects, plans, action steps, and information organized in Outlook. Key issues addressed include supporting multiple staff, managing upwards, creating effective boundaries, calendaring, e-mail overload, e-mail protocol, filing and finding, creating time to work on your own tasks, dealing with interruptions, and integrating personal and professional priorities.

A pre-call is conducted prior to the eight-hour seminar to assess roles, objectives and appropriate customization. The seminar takes place in a computer lab, classroom or conference room with a combination of PCs and laptops, preferably connected to the server so participants can work real-time.
