All human beings make mistakes. The good news is that all human beings can develop practical skills to overcome the natural barriers to accuracy. In this introduction to accuracy skills, participants learn a variety of techniques to enable them to handle information and complete tasks correctly, even when working under pressure.
‘Attention to detail’ is a key requirement in many job roles and this fun, practical workshop reveals how to manage distractions and how to work accurately with documents and emails.
Capturing, checking and communicating information accurately is essential for efficient operations. Participants learn simple data accuracy techniques for handling numbers and alphanumerics correctly.
Key themes in the workshop include:
Why mistakes happen and what they cost
Mistakes occur because of the way we function as human beings – the way our eyes and brain co-ordinate and the way we react under stress can result in ‘silly’ mistakes. An error that takes a few seconds to make often has long-lasting, expensive repercussions. Participants learn about the causes of mistakes, so they can take steps to prevent them, and how to quantify the cost of error in their own organisation.
Developing an accuracy mind-set
Being alert to the possibility of error and developing a sense of ‘present-mindedness’ means that mistakes are less likely to slip by unnoticed. Participants learn practical techniques and structured methodologies for checking their work and for adopting an accuracy mind-set, so they get it right first time.
Managing time for accurate outcomes
People don’t think clearly when they feel stressed and overwhelmed. That’s when tasks get forgotten and things go wrong. Participants learn how to use time productively and efficiently, so they are focused on the tasks that need to take priority. ‘The day starts here’ technique is an example of this.
