Task Switch Challenge

How long did you manage to really focus on work without disruption yesterday?

Recent research reveals that most of us can’t do a couple of hours of work without disruption, despite working in team-based organisations using modern agile practices.

In fact, half of us can’t even steal an hour for deep focus, regardless of whether we’re a manager or ‘maker’.

And did you know that the impacts are way worse than we thought…> 50% longer lead times, quality an afterthought, limited innovation, frustrated staff.

Let's take the ‘Task Switch Challenge’ to explore how we can trigger more effective end-to-end, team-led flow in our delivery groups.

Takeaways you can expect

  • Gain a deeper, first hand understanding of task switching, its impacts…and the alternative.
  • Relate all this back to your own workplace…how prevalent is it, what are the causes?
  • Learn potential change strategies...spoiler: staff time management isn't the answer.
  • Develop your own action plan to assess, trigger group change, and monitor task switching in your own workplace.
