Managing Chaos: Tools to Set Priorities and Make Decisions Under Pressure

Set priorities and learn to control chaos in the workplace

While chaos can be a ‘natural’ outcome of constant change, but it’s not easy to deal with if you don’t have tools designed to manage that chaos as it unfolds. This program provides solutions to address this challenge. Plus, you’ll discover how to harness the energy of a dynamic - though often chaotic - work environment and avoid feeling overwhelmed when things start to spin out of control.

Through applying a variety of tools, you’ll re-think the way you approach chaos, which will help you tackle tough situations as they arise. You will also practice techniques for analyzing and resolving problems and learn to strategically communicate your solutions. You’ll leave confident and ready to apply the most appropriate techniques to clarify, alleviate and eliminate chaos within your control—and better manage your reactions to the chaos beyond your control.

    Great instructor. Good pace. Interesting topic and some helpful tools I hadn't heard of before. Quite practical.

    I thought this was well lead and the group activities were great. I would have liked more time to work on the activities and discuss as a group

  • Past Participant Feb 24, 2023

    The course was excellent as a refresher to time and change management for long time managers. As a suggestion, I think the appendix should be removed as it's own document, there was a lot of scrolling in the workbook. Also, the writable pdf is fantastic,
