The success of critical projects and programs requires the skill, energy, and focus of every team member. Research shows that when just one or two team members make even small fumbles (miss deadlines, work on the wrong priorities, or forget tasks), team productivity is cut by an average of 24%. On the other hand, teams that have a shared process for managing workflow foster trust, engagement, and efficient execution.
The Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology was developed 30 years ago by New York Times bestselling author David Allen. While David originally developed the methodology by observation, experimentation, and practice, researchers have since shown that the principles taught in GTD relieve cognitive load, allow for increased focus, even result in peak performance and optimal experience, or what is popularly called “flow.”
In other words, GTD isn’t only about getting things done. The real promise of GTD is efficient engagement. It’s productivity with presence and purpose.
The Getting Things Done (GTD) teaches skills to help individuals improve focus and productivity and teams to foster trust and efficiency. When used consistently and collectively, they create a “way of working” that help teams produce better results.
Capture every commitment you make, whether to yourself or others.
Identify the very next action you must take to move your commitments towards completion.
Organize your commitments in a trusted system—an “external brain.”
Consider existing commitments before you make new ones, or say no with integrity.
Get clear on your highest priorities and stay engaged with them through regular reviews.
Crucial Learning research shows that a majority of your workforce (60.6%) rarely does an hour or two of deep, focused work each day without distraction.
On the other hand, those who use the GTD skills are empowered to eliminate distractions and capture, clarify and organize incoming requests in a way thatenables them to focus on the projects and people that are most important
9 of 10 GTD graduates report permanently changing
a time-management behavior. They also report that their
new skills save them an average of 21 to 40 minutes
EACH DAY. One in three graduates say they save at least 41 minutes a day as a result of using their GTD skills.
8 out of 10 training graduates at MasterControl, a software solutions company, said GTD helped them better process their email inbox. The team also reported a strong correlation between their new GTD skills and a positive trend in customer feedback.
Crucial Learning research shows that people who use the
GTD skills are 55 times less likely to say they start projects
that never get finished and 18 times less likely to say they often feel overwhelmed.
Qualtrics, a leader in customer experience, trained
new employees in Getting Things Done to help them onboard quickly. One 100% of training graduates reported improvement in their ability to hit deadlines and deliver on commitments. And 96% said GTD helped them improve their daily effectiveness or ability to execute and stay on course.
Teams that have a shared process for managing and executing work also foster cultures of trust and engagement. In the absence of productivity fumbles, coworkers trust that requests and commitments will get done. And when the workload is spread evenly across a team of full contributors, your most valuable players are less likely to burn out. The CEO of Menlo Innovations reports that learning the GTD skills not only generated results, but also reduced stress and increased joy in the workplace.
