Managing Time and Scope
This PDF covers the different levels of scope and range of time that people automatically prioritise and how that can cause conflict.

All focuses are important and cover one another’s blind spots.

Managing Time and Scope
This video explains how people automatically prioritise different levels of scope and range of time and how that can cause confusion and conflict. For example, someone with a very immediate, detail focused approach will prioritise differently to someone with a long-term, broad vision. All focuses are important and cover one another’s blind spots. Learn how to use this technique with a group or team and how to explain a complex topic to others.
ON THE JOB ACTIONS
Understand People
Read and/or watch Managing Time and Scope so you can be aware that people see the future differently. For example, some people are very aware when information in a situation spans a longer timescale or a bigger scope. Others think in a much more short or medium-term way. Which are you? If the latter, you may need to pay more attention to looking ahead and forecasting effectively. You may need to diarise time to do it!
