PIM Overview.
The Personal Information Management Program is a one-to-one
desk-side coaching program. The course is designed to enable
participants to dramatically increase their personal productivity
while improving the quality of their lives. The course supports
participants in creating an Integrated Management System using
Microsoft Office Outlook. This system manages a constant stream of
incoming electronic and voice mail communications, objectives
and projects and is centrally located, accessible and flexible.
By the end of the one-day coaching program, participants will experience a
sense of relaxed, focused control, with all objectives, projects, plans, action
steps and information organized in Outlook. Key issues addressed include: e-mail
overload, e-mail protocol, digital communications, filing, managing multiple
objectives and projects, dealing with interruptions, tracking delegated items, reading material and integrating
personal and professional priorities.
A 30-minute pre-call is conducted prior to the eight-hour coaching
day to assess, roles objectives and appropriate customization.
The program takes place on-site in the client's office.
