| To get things done fast, the To Do lists of everyone involved need to be coordinated. Unless each person’s actions are synchronized with other team member’s actions, it is very hard to keep work flowing. TASKey has found that a planned workflow to complete a task is the common element in plans, To Do lists, progress reports and feedback to keep relevant people informed. |

Author : Dr Neil Miller |
| Strategy implementation is a costly process, because it usually needs people to work across many functional, cultural and process barriers to achieve the strategy goal. Who is involved, when, and how, largely depends on the strategy being implemented, so flexible solutions that meet peoples’ needs and reduce costs are rare.
The root cause of many costs is people not being able to bridge the gap between high level strategy tasks and what they need to do, when and with whom. Without knowing wh |

| When implementing a strategy, you need to engage with all the people who need to contribute. Most people are keen to contribute, but find it hard to sort out what is happening and what they need to do. Good plans fit easily into the strategy, include a vision of what needs to be done, and contain a list of actions of how a plan goal will be achieved. TASKey has developed web and mobile software that makes it easy to develop and update one page plans in minutes. |

| Reducing the Costs of Introducing a Strategy |

Author : Dr Neil Miller |
| A strategy has two broad types of actions: the core actions that are an integral part of the strategy and enabling actions that are only required during implementation. When implementing a strategy many of the people involved are usually doing other tasks. Outsourcing core actions is usually not appropriate, because people in the workplace need to adopt and sustain the strategy. It may be appropriate to outsource core actions to fill knowledge and skill gaps. TASKey has developed and validated a solution that allows the people doing the core actions to also easily handle enabling actions. |

Author : Manual To Do Lists don’t tell you what is happening |
| Time management has focused on various methods of creating and completing personal ToDo lists. The problem we face is that a lot of what is actually happening is occurring on other people’s ToDo lists. The solution is to synchronize the information on relevant people’s personal ToDo lists. TASKey has developed and validated an easy to use method that keeps relevant actions on many people’s ToDo lists synchronized. |

| To Do lists are an excellent tool to keep track of what you need to do when and with whom. It is hard work to sort through many strategies, projects, initiatives, meeting actions, and issues to identify what is happening and what you need to do. Keeping your own To Do list up to date rarely works in practice. TASKey has developed and validated a simple solution to identify relevant To Do’s and keep them updated. |

Time consuming meetings and communications are used to create and sustain the links between tasks and To Do’s .TASKey Me2Team significantly reduces the time and effort wasted in meetings and communications required to keep work flowing. |
