What value would you put on your time?
Seminar Brief
In 2022, the Harvard Business Review looked at the time 137 users in mid- or back-office roles (like HR, recruiting, and finance) spent toggling between tasks on their computers/laptops. They found that employees spent just under 4 hours each week reorienting themselves after switching to a new application, which adds up to 9% of their annual time at work.
Think of this as your standard 37 hour week – you’re wasting pretty much an entire morning flicking between different programmes! How much more could you achieve if you could use those hours effectively?
Though these results were from users at three Fortune 500 companies, there’s so much relevance to school and MAT central team functions that we can’t ignore! How many systems do you have in play for a single task? Take recruitment - you might have one application that generates adverts and receives applications, another to track applicants, a HR portal to add successful candidates too, and that’s all before you’ve got new starters set up and running with Payroll and training. Woah!
Growing MATs need connected systems to run both efficiently and profitably. And it’s the rich, value-add of having everything communicating effectively from a single, central place that we’ll be exploring at EdExec Live 2024!

Speaking at EE NORTH
In this seminar Matt Brown will explore:
-
The time you use productively VS the time you’ve got available
-
The rich opportunities schools and MATs have to consolidate central systems
-
Case studies of how connectivity has transformed traditionally transactional services to value-added resources for some of the nation’s MATs
-
Why connective scalability is key for successful MAT growth and performance.
The seminar will be interactive, with Matt posing questions to get you thinking and self-reflecting. You’ll spend time actively considering how efficient your internal processes currently are and comparing these to how efficient they could be.
We know that the activities different central school and MAT teams carry out daily are similar. But we also see day-in, day-out, that it’s how they’re carried out that differentiates good from best practice.
Matt will encourage delegates to share any positive changes their organisations have made to connect information more centrally, helping others to pin-point ways in which their organisation can do the same.
