FROM KNOWLEDGE TO CAPABILITY

What you will be able to do.

For professionals, managers, self-employed people and teams coordinating multiple demands and seeking a more reliable way to organise their work.

  • Prioritise according to impact, deadlines and available resources.
  • Capture tasks and commitments in a dependable system.
  • Manage interruptions and coordination more deliberately.
  • Review and improve a personal working routine.

YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY

A structured programme. Room for your priorities.

These modules form the core programme. Where useful, we refine the emphasis, examples and learning activities to reflect your professional context, starting point and objectives.

01

Work patterns and practical diagnosis

Record typical tasks, interruptions and recurring bottlenecks. Separate habits you can influence from structural constraints that require wider discussion. Define specific improvement objectives and observe the situations that support concentration, those that undermine it and those requiring an agreement with another person.

02

Priorities and explicit choices

Assess tasks by importance, urgency and effort. Break large assignments into actionable next steps and make competing priorities visible. Develop a considered list of activities to reduce, delegate or stop, then practise explaining these choices in relation to your responsibilities and expected results.

03

Planning around real capacity

Connect a weekly overview, calendar and task list in a manageable system. Allow for buffers, dependencies and routine work instead of planning every minute as productive capacity. Test the plan against actual workload and identify which commitments need renegotiation when new demands arise.

04

Attention and interruptions

Examine how notifications, meetings and unplanned requests affect different types of work. Try suitable agreements for focused periods and availability. The aim is dependable coordination with colleagues and customers that reflects both the requirements of your tasks and the needs of the people around you.

05

Collaboration and boundaries

Practise clarifying expectations early, grouping questions and recording commitments clearly. Difficult scenarios involve competing requests and unrealistic deadlines. Learn to discuss options and consequences constructively rather than treating every workload problem as something to solve through greater individual effort or longer working hours.

06

Routines and continuous improvement

Design short daily and weekly reviews that keep open commitments and next steps visible. Run a personal experiment connecting one chosen method with observation and adjustment. Include breaks and recovery within a workable organisation of the day, rather than viewing them only as rewards for completion.

GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions, answered.

Who is this programme for?

For professionals, managers, self-employed people and teams coordinating multiple demands and seeking a more reliable way to organise their work. The programme is available to private individuals and organisations, including company teams. OSAM welcomes learners living or working in Switzerland as well as international participants joining live online.

How is this qualification recognised?

OSAM is an eduQua-certified continuing education institution. An OSAM certificate documents the learning agreed for your programme; eduQua is a quality label for the institution, not federal recognition of every individual course.

OSAM’s work connects individual professional development with the needs of companies in Switzerland and internationally. Client references and learner reviews below offer a practical view of that work.

What are the benefits of this programme?

You develop skills you can apply in real situations, with guidance from experienced practitioners and access to learning materials on the OSAM platform. The programme focuses on these outcomes:

  • Prioritise according to impact, deadlines and available resources.
  • Capture tasks and commitments in a dependable system.
  • Manage interruptions and coordination more deliberately.
  • Review and improve a personal working routine.
Can the programme be personalised?

Yes. We start with the established programme and refine the emphasis, practical cases and learning support where useful. Adjustments take account of the individual or company’s professional context, existing skills and goals. The agreed programme is confirmed before enrolment; federal examination requirements remain binding where applicable.

What are the entry requirements?

For the OSAM certificate, contact us to review your current level, prior experience and objectives. We will confirm the appropriate entry requirements and any recommended preparation.

Is this training tied to a particular planning app?

The main focus is how you work. Existing calendars and task tools can be included so that your new routines fit your organisation's requirements and available software.

Are specific productivity gains guaranteed?

No. Results depend on the work, your control over it and implementation. You select relevant indicators and examine which changes are useful in your own circumstances.

Can the programme be delivered to a team?

Yes. Shared issues such as meetings, availability and handovers work well in a team programme. OSAM prepares the scope and quotation around the objectives agreed with you.
