Human time is the only active factor that creates value. Based on this premise, making employees' work more efficient is a central issue for companies. Reducing porosity, i.e. idle time, is a preoccupation for managers and executives. However, anticipating workloads, prioritizing emergencies and managing stress are not innate skills, and require a genuine corporate policy. More broadly, the need for balance between personal and professional life has never been more pressing, especially for the younger generation. Avoiding these issues can lead to extreme situations, with burn-out for individuals and disorganization for teams. Time management is therefore a strategic skill for companies, and for management consultants too, who must set an example and pass on their know-how. In this PDW session, we will examine three themes in this workshop: effective time management tools and methods to teach to companies, specific time management tools and methods for consulting firms, and organizational methods for achieving a satisfactory balance between personal and professional life.
