People who’ve worked with us recently may well know how fond we are of experiments. We work with lots of our clients to support them to design small experiments which they can carry out within their business to see what difference they make.

As you’ll probably remember from school, an experiment should have a hypothesis and you need to be able to observe or measure the results.

In this series of blogs we’ve suggested some little experiments which you might like to try. Or, why not design your own?

 

Timesheet

Pretty much everyone hates filling in timesheets, but they exist for a good reason. Fear not, we aren’t going to suggest you keep one forever, but as a short experiment you might learn lots.

Preparation: Look through your diary and select a week that looks as close to “normal” as you can get.

Hypothesis: Learning more about how we actually spend our time can help us to make changes.

Method: Track time or keep a timesheet for at least a week. Analyse how to spend your time and work out if there are things you can stop doing, automate, or outsource.

Measures: Productivity

 

If you give it a go, let us know what happens!
