That is three actionable involving three teams right there. Then I need to actually write the proposal. The pre-sales team then needs to collaborate with our delivery team to define how we will deliver the project and our pricing. To send out a proposal I would first need to define the requirements, then share them with my pre-sales team. “Send out a proposal to XYZ prospect” or “Review Support Team Performance” is often the type of item that makes it’s a way to our task lists. GTD at its core is about breaking down all work/activities into tasks that are actually actionable. Workflow Automation can enable a radically different approach to GTD. A GTD solution invariably creates duplication.ī) What organizations define as a project is distinctly different from the GTD definition of any activity with more than one step.Ĭ) GTD calls for distributed leadership, which inherently clashes with corporate hierarchies.ĭ) Collaboration is intrinsic in a workplace in the form of communication, approvals and more, GTD tools don’t address this need effectively.

GETTING THINGS DONE FILE SYSTEM SOFTWARE
Three major challenges that have made Organizational GTD impractical have been:Ī) Much of the work we do is mapped to one software solution or the other ranging from corporate email to an ERP. By breaking down our work into actual actionable and organizing them by context and priority we make sure we are maximizing the impact of time spent working. The confidence that all of our to-dos with associated information have been captured and stored in an external system we can access whenever we need to allows us to focus on the task at hand. Workflow Automation opens up the potential for Organizational GTD. But it is a personal productivity methodology, hard to deploy at an organizational level.
