Time Management Training with Michigan Technology Services

Time management is a critical factor for business and personal success. Without managing the scarce commodity of time, companies will reduce efficiency and effectiveness, and miss market and profitability opportunities. Employees will not contribute to their maximum abilities, lack fulfillment, and struggle with critical work-life balance issues. And, from a simplistic point of view, it will take more workers to accomplish the same amount of work, decreasing profitability and shareholder value.

For individuals, effective time management strategies and skills may mean the difference between a stressed-out, overwhelmed, unproductive, and ineffective professional life and a fulfilling, engaged, under-control, creative, and opportunistic professional career. Effective time management may also mean spending more quality time with family and friends, pursuing individual passions and hobbies, staying healthy and active, and living the kind of life that all of us desire.

Michigan Technology Services, a Farmington Hills, MI based technology consulting firm, has partnered with Michigan's premier time management specialist to bring you the best in time management training.

The time management seminar will provide sophisticated time management strategies to your company's employees and managers, making sure they get the most out of every day and increasing the bottom line of your firm. It will also make your staff happier, more content professionally, more creative, and will allow them to consistently contribute to the goals and mission of your firm on a more regular basis.

Specialized programs can be developed and customized for companies that have both Outlook and Gmail users, and/or special company or industry circumstances.

  • A basic understanding of the key principles of time management
  • Setting up a system for proactive management of your work day and work week

  • Effectively managing multiple complex projects at the same time and keeping the most important tasks for each project moving forward
  • Setting up your personal office/cubicle space so that it contributes to your time management system, rather than detracting from it
  • How to set up "reminder" systems that prompt you to take appropriate actions at the right times
  • Strategies for getting the most out of "down time"
  • Setting up your time management system so that it contributes to your personal life just as much as it contributes to your professional life (Work/Life Balance!)

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
