Working Effectively under Pressure
A practical programme in working effectively under pressure, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to working effectively under pressure in the context of management priorities and execution. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on pressure triggers, workload boundaries and support routines. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of pressure triggers and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine workload boundaries and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to support routines.
- Prepare a decision brief with responsibilities and performance measures for discussion with a manager and team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.

- Managers and supervisors: apply pressure triggers to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
- Team leaders and improvement coordinators: apply workload boundaries to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
- Strategy and operations professionals: apply support routines to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
