PDFs
Managing Information Effectively
This PDF provides an in-depth explanation of how we structure and manage information at different levels of detail and complexity. It covers how we communicate, including common causes of miscommunication, and what we can do to communicate more clearly depending on the person/group we are engaging with. It is aimed at structuring information at an individual level.

Managing Complex Information

This PDF covers the ways in which we process information differently and how that can lead to miscommunication, even when we’re not aware of it. It describes the different levels at which we group information and how everybody works at different levels at any one time, following up with a technique to structure a meeting so that everyone is on the same page. This PDF is aimed at structuring information in a group.

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. 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.

The Power of Empathy

Empathy is one of the most powerful tools you can use to build productive relationships. It is fundamental to building collaboration. This PDF explains what empathy is, how to demonstrate it, and the impact it will have if you choose (or not) to use it. It will help you to defuse conflict, connect with and motivate others, and improve efficiency.

ON THE JOB ACTIONS
Make the most of opportunities for learning

Whether this is attending a training course, shadowing someone else, reading more about the subject, or a work placement, be open to the chance to increase your knowledge. If these opportunities are not as available as you'd like, speak to your manager about creating some. If this is also not an option, take charge of your own learning.
