Now you can have world class training without

FACT: In 2005 a survey of workers was conducted involving 38000 participants in almost 200 countries. The participants were asked "what, in their experience, were contributing factors that reduced their personal productivity?". 3 area of activities were identified.
- Poor team communication
- Unclear objectives
- Time wasting at meetings
The estimate was that 30% of time spent at meetings was wasted.
