Selby Acoustics Time Management Case Study

Selby Acoustics, gets a lot of things right, which is why they are one of the fastest growing online retailers in Australia. However, fast growth comes with its issues, including keeping employees focused on their core goals during constant cycles of change.

"We wanted to help our team understand the importance of taking time to review their goals and plan their work." says Shaun O'Brien, Managing Director of Selby Acoustics. "We also wanted to get some common tools in place to manage tasks and schedules.”

“We have used Kallista Consulting extensively in the past because they connect well with our team members and their approach drives behavioural changes that get results".

The Kallista Consulting Time Management for Professionals program introduces participants to the common elements that drive the success of high achieving organisations and people. By helping participants understand their own time management behavioural styles, opportunities for development are revealed.

The program demonstrates the use of the fundamental tools of effective time management. A typical program (most Kallista Consulting training is tailored to individual organisational needs) will discuss the importance of effective communication of organisational goals, the importance of planning, techniques for prioritisation, tips to help with effective delegation, running effective meetings and the use of tools such as Microsoft Outlook.

Says O’Brien, “Since conducting Time Management Training for our entire team, we have implemented some standards across Selby Acoustics to plan work and record outstanding tasks. Immediately following the program, we saw a number of projects that had been sitting on the backburner suddenly get done.”

“This is a direct result of our team members applying new approaches to identifying what work is really important and being able to balance reactive and planned work”

Kallista consulting is a Melbourne based training organisation specialising in assisting private and public sector organisations to connect more effectively with their customers and deliver greater value through a suite of business improvement tools.
