Work smarter, not harder

These new Smart Reset Series (SRS) webinars offer you the opportunity to follow short, interactive and practical lessons in working smarter, not harder using your own computer or smartphone / tablet. Two trainers will interactively walk you through a series of solutions to common challenges in your work. The trainers will describe these challenges using the World of Minds Idea Realization Cycle and other concepts in order to simply explain how to tackle these challenges in a broader, interrelated sense. Using specialized software it will be possible to ask questions, vote, see interactions and follow the structure of the webinar in a mind map.

We offer two webinar series, which will be detailed below

Please note: You will not be able to see who the other participants are (and vice versa). 

 

Improve yourself, your team and your organisation

The welfare of people appears to be the biggest hidden potential for innovation and competativeness of large organizations. Investing in social innovation or “working smarter, not harder” pays off. However, how can you internalize working smarter? A day of training will not be enough.

To let this work we developed, with a large number of customers, a roadmap based on the 70-20-10 philosophy and blended learning. This helps to get from unconsciously incompetent behavior to unconsciously competent behavior. The roadmap below visualizes four elements:

1. The path the participants take, layer by layer, from individual goals to team goals.
2. The steps taken by a participant to get from unconscious incompetent to new unconsciously competent behavior.
3. The building blocks that are realized in these organisations (straregy, structure, culture, people, means and results) to use the roadmap effective.
4. The services and products that are being offered by Academy of Minds to implement the raodmap successfully.

 

Click on the development areas which you want to develop yourself in to see how it fits into the roadmap. Hold your mouse-cursos over the different elements to see explenations. Click on training or masterclasses to see what the training and masterclasses have to offer.

Not sure where to start?

Fill in the Analysis Personal Challenges® and you will receive a Personal Roadmap Working Smarter® from one of the trainers within 2-3 working days (see this example in Dutch). We will treat your information confidential. There is also a team version. Please ask your trainer for the link.

 

 

 

 

No training required

All webinars can be attended without prior education or training. However, to get the most out of the webinars we recommend to join our one day Onboarder Classroom training or our A New Smarter Way of Working (ANSWoW) training program. This will allow you to lay a foundation in working smarter. After – or while – attending the webinars, we recommend you to learn the basics of Mindjet MindManager and the Visual Export add-in. When using this visual mapping software you will be able to apply Whole Brain Thinking principles and become more productive and efficient. One of the reasons for this is that you will be able to re-use once captured information effortlessly in different visual formats and with this be facilitated in applying the learnings from the webinars. See the World of Minds Idea Realization Cycle.

 

Gain time for reflection and de-stressing

The effect of this integrated approach will be more valuable than implementing just one solution or method. This approach will improve your creativity and decision making and will save you time; up to half a day a week without specialised software and up to one day a week using visual mapping software and add/ins (e.g. MindManager).

You will get the best long term result when the time gained is used for de-stressing and reflection. You can choose from two types of webinars to give yourself a ”Smart Reset”: the four 50 minutes SRS Personal Dashboard (PD) webinars and the seven 30 minutes SRS Lunch Webinars.

These four 50-minute webinars will help you to build your own Personal Dashboard step by step. These webinars are best followed sequentially and are an ideal start to ‘Work Smarter, Not Harder’.

Build-up of the four SRS Personal Dashboard webinars:

 

These SRS Lunch Webinars series are designed to be fast, simple and effective learning blocks of 30 minutes. Academy of Minds has asked a large number of students what challenges they encounter in Working Smarter, Not Harder. Based on the survey results, seven 30-minute webinars have been developed to tackle the most common challenges.
