Technology is supposed to make life easier and simpler, but most managers find themselves cleaning up the messes caused by too many gadgets. This course is about using technology to work smarter, not harder.

Rudeness in the workplace is increasing to the level that universities are studying it. Everyone is busy, everyone is stressed, and most people take it out on their colleagues at one time or another. We’ve all been in a situation where we need to print something ASAP and someone has left the printer jammed, or we need coffee and the coffeepot is empty. Technology is supposed to make life easier and simpler, but most managers find themselves cleaning up the messes caused by too many gadgets. How do we use technology to our advantage, to work smarter instead of harder?

Your organisation can gain a significant, competitive advantage by integrating technology into your daily routine. Although using computers and electronic components can be intimidating, using training materials can help to ease even the most hardnosed, “technology-sceptic.” Scheduling meetings with clients, knowledge-sharing between personnel, and accessing important information becomes immediately easier by deciding to use technology to your advantage.

Having technology-competent individuals in the workplace can drastically improve all aspects of the business environment. Knowing how to use electronic devices is critical to developing stronger business relationships. Our workshop materials offer instructors practical tips to share with their students about increasing their chances for success using technology.
