Managing Freedom

How to double staff productivity in less time without stress

If there is one thing that improves productivity out of sight, it is the closer management of individual staff and contractors.

Good management results in the optimal use of time, money and resources. Our customers report that they can get a lot more done in a lot less time when they use the Managing Freedom Business System.

At Freedom Management we have spent 15 years developing management systems for the Building, Contracting and Engineering industry. By far the most important one is the One Page Managing Freedom individual management system. Using this system, one of our clients was able to manage an engineering business that grew from 50 Million dollars per annum to 100 million in only 12 months. The system was able to help manage this growth with almost the same amount of staff. The initial staff of 200 rose to only 204 while turnover doubled. We don’t have to mention the impact on profits this produced.

Similar results have been measured in smaller businesses that have noticed their profits rising substantially using the one page management system. The system provides people with a clear understanding of what is expected of them, a sense of purpose and feedback on how they are going every day. The result is as much as double the productivity with little or no rework. 

Because it is a practical business system that has been field tested for 15 years, participants in this workshop get the benefit of this 15 years of R&D in the form of a practical management system specifically designed for Builders, Contractors and Engineers. It takes into account the fact that people in our industry have little practical communication and management training and fast-tracks the learning process. The system can be understood and learned in just 4 hours and it can help reduce overall management time by as much as 50%. That’s why its called Managing Freedom…it frees managers and supervisors from the slavery of wasted time and effort.
