An 'In Tray' business game that enables
      delegates to learn time management skills
                   by practical experience.

InBox
A Northgate  Training Game

An ideal training activity to assess performance
in recruitment or for development on training courses.

Each team or individual has their own 'In Tray' which consists of 30 documents (faxes, memos, notes, letters etc.) and their task is to:

• prioritise the items and decide which communications need an instant response;
  
• decide which items can be delegated;
  
• identify underlying problems within the business as revealed by the communications and decide what should be done.

The exercise lasts 60 minutes but while teams work on their inbox a series of emails trickles in. Emails can be the tyranny of communication. Will teams interrupt their work to deal with emails or will they ignore them? What disciplines will they set up within the group? Will they complete the exercise within the 60 minutes and show good time management?

We can alter the type of documents according to the level of participants and areas to be covered. For example we can include equal opportunity issues, employment law and health and safety.

This training activity is ideal for an assessment centre before recruiting staff. It is used on graduate induction courses and all types of management programmes where time management and teamwork is a focus.

Key skill areas:

• prioritisation
• delegation
• time management
• the role of the manager
• handling the work flow
• dealing with emails
• the urgent and the important
• evaluating staff through their communications

Duration:     2 to 4 hours

Numbers:     No limit - working individually or in teams.

Cost to buy (including a trainer's manual) to facilitate it yourself: £250 + delivery and VAT (UK Only).
