With leaders spending minimally one hour per day seeking information, assistants have taken on a new and vitally important role acting as an information centre to assist their bosses in making important business decisions. And only a well structured filter can ensure that the relevant information reaches the right place at the right time.  Well based selection, preparation and documentation of information leads to optimised use and avoids mistakes in judgement on the part of your supervisor. In this seminar you will learn techniques to master your workload. You’ll learn to prioritise, prepare and structure the flow of information. You’ll come to recognise the opportunities and the limitations of traditional filing and recording systems in comparison to electronic documentation.  Through a more efficient archiving system, you will optimise your supervisor support potential and reduce your own working stress.  In doing so, you save not only time and money, but also increase your personal success in providing your boss with even more relief.
