Workshop - A toolbox for academic effectiveness: From efficiency to effectiveness
The objective is to provide PhD students with a toolbox for increased academic effectiveness in order to finish their academic work on time.The background is that in academia we focus on what/the content of our work, but sometimes we forget to pay attention to our own work process, or how we work, think, and act. However, the process is important for finishing research projects and managing stress levels. Furthermore, as individuals, we often have one main strategy, or a certain way of thinking and acting, to deal with a variety of situations. Often, our main strategy works fine, but when we encounter new situations, we might need a greater variety of strategies.
This workshop is designed to provide you with new strategies applicable to academic work. More specifically, you will learn effectiveness tools such as the 80/20 principle, focusing on the end product, and working in units, and apply them to your own work situation. These tools serve to reinforce each other, are easy to implement and have large impact. This workshop is greatly appreciated among researchers and have been given at the University of California, Berkeley, Umeå University, and Lund University.
WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR
Åsa Burman, PhD and former management consultant at McKinsey&Company. Director of Studies at the Department of Philosophy at Stockholm University and author of the book The Doctoral Student Handbook: Master Effectiveness. Reduce Stress, Finish on Time (Finish on Time Publications 2018)
