“Responsibility, accountability and authority.”

Transformation

What one thing that you have learned will have the greatest impact on your work on Monday morning?

Planning/communication and delegating responsibilities. | Getting the top dogs to give me responsibilities and authority. | I am in charge of a team and I should enforce this responsibility of holding others accountable because I have the authority. | Treat people you “dislike” as a new species and find a way to connect with them. | Scheduling in my own life: 1. Do a WBS for work –> 2. Assign each person’s responsibility –> 3. Enable myself some free time to be able to study. | Responsibility, accountability and authority. | The scheduling of tasks. | Microsoft Project. Risks. How to manage projects.

About the learning materials

What did you think of the workbook?

Very nice. Excellent initiative. | It was good because it makes you concentrate. | Broken down simply for easy understanding. | Personal reference is typed notes but I have OCD so this may be anticipated. | Excellent – Fun – Interesting. | You can improve in the material, but it is okay. | Was easy to be followed. | I’ve never used such kind of materials, because the materials cover the course content in detail.

What could be improved?

More time on Demo for those who have never seen it before 🙂 | Extending the duration because there is a lot to learn. | Complexity of examples, more “real world”| Nothing. | To make many courses or workshops in Jhb. | The duration of the workshop is short. It needs to be improved. | Workshop time, interaction of participants.

Did you find the quizzes helpful?

Yes. | Very helpful because they made me think out of the box. | Yes. | Yes, great re-enforcement. | Yes, I like having to think out of the box, evaluating the question. | Yes. | Very helpful. | Very helpful, gives good insight for training.

About the lecturer

What did she do well?

Excellent presentation. | She was excellent. | She kept me interested. Explained well. | She kept the “lecture” interesting and addressed each participant’s individual needs. | She applied Project Management as being something you should have in your own life. One needs to manage one’s elf before anything else can be managed. | She was open to everyone. | She emphasised on critical points. | She explained well.

What could she have done better?

Work slower when showing steps on Demo. | Everything was said out openly for us to understand. | She must continue to do the good job that she’s doing. | She must allow enough time for delegate’s views, so that they will be fully engaged throughout the course. | Open the participant to share their experience.
