Description
What is the aim of this course?   

Management consultants are brutally efficient. They not only are taught to do their work fast but also are very good at selecting the right issues. I know it from first-hand experience as I spent my first 5 years in this hostile environment of top consulting companies. Yes, we worked sometimes 10-15 hours a day; 6-7 days a week but we managed with a small team to do in 3 months what the whole company was not able to do in years. Management consultants’ efficiency stems from 3 things: good organization, efficiency in daily activities, and extremely good skills in picking the right topics. I think that those skills are crucial and I will teach how to acquire them.   

In this course, I will show you how to do the right things fast and efficiently so you can enjoy fully your work and life (depending on what are your priorities ;) .

This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated a total of 2 billion in additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 224 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.

I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work.

I do not like to overcomplicate things so in every lecture I will be quite straightforward. In every lecture, I described a different hack and I gave examples of how to use it, especially in services such as consulting. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) many useful files: examples shown in the lecture, further suggestions, exercises, etc. If you don’t find something that you need let me know - I will try to prepare something and I will add it to the course   

In the course, I use 6 main frameworks: the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle), lean manufacturing, the theory of constraints, getting things done, the critical chain method, and lean startup.

Why have I decided to create this course?   

The companies I have worked with so far as a Board Member (I am usually the Chief Restructuring Officer, and VP responsible for Strategy and Development) still have huge problems with productivity on 3 levels: personal efficiency of team members, the general efficiency of the whole team (you can have efficient people that create an inefficient team), selection of topics/tasks/projects.   

I have always tried to coach them and increase productivity but on-the-job training is not enough and it is always limited to people you have contact with. To go further and to have a bigger impact you need materials that you can refer people to when they are in need. Therefore, I decided to create this course. Since I work not only with mature companies but also with startups I have tested the material also on them. It proved very handy in making sure that the startups are improving their productivity.     

In what way will you benefit from this course?   

The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of, tricks, hints, and examples that will significantly improve your productivity and improve the quality of your choices. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. Our intention is that thanks to the course you will know:   

How to set priorities on tasks and projects?

 How to select the right things to concentrate on, on daily basis

How to do much faster tasks and minimize the burden of boring tasks that everybody is faced with.

How to  avoid doing many things altogether

How to increase team efficiency

You can also ask me any question either through the discussion mode or by messaging me directly.   

I will produce the necessary content.

How the course is organized?   

The course is divided into the following sections:

How to do the right things. In the second section, we go through ways you can use to decide what to do and what NOT to do. I will show you how to avoid common mistakes.

How to work faster. In the next 3 sections, I will show you how to do faster the tasks or avoid doing them altogether. These sections will have the most useful productivity hacks that you can apply to make sure that your personal productivity jumps significantly. Some of them, after modification, can be applied to the whole team.   

Team efficiency - general rules. In this section, I will show you how to apply the productivity hacks from the previous section to the team. I will also show productivity hacks for the boss.

Other things worth checking. In the last section, I will share with you additional resources that will show you how to use productivity hacks to learn faster and manage your career.
