Find your time drains. Then fix them with tools you already have.
You and your team know something is slowing you down. But do you know exactly what?
In this session you use human intelligence to find where the time is going — then you see how to plug the drains using Outlook, Teams, Copilot, or whatever AI you already have.

Four things you and your team already own — and what becomes possible when they are unlocked
Most teams are already sitting on everything they need. The gap is not capability — it is clarity. This session shows you and your team how to unlock what is already there.
You lead a team, work in one, or support the people who do — and you recognise the feeling of effort not matching output. Line managers, department heads, project leads, team leaders, L&D, and HR professionals are all welcome.
The six time drains we work on
These are the six areas where time quietly drains away in most teams. Each one has a fix — built around tools you and your team already own.
What you will walk away with
- ✓A clear picture of which time drain is costing you and your team the most — and what to do about it this week.
- ✓A practical walkthrough of how Outlook, Teams, and Copilot work together to recover lost time — demonstrated live, not explained in theory.
- ✓A simple three-part framework — People, Process, Technology — that makes the problem visible and the fix obvious. No jargon. No complexity.
- ✓One concrete next step you can take straight away — without buying anything new or running a programme.
- ✓Clarity on whether there is something worth fixing in your team — and what a proportionate response looks like.

What happens in the session
Where is the time going? — 10 minutes
A quick look at the six time drains and how to identify which one is costing you and your team the most. We use a live poll so you can see where the room sits — and where you compare.
What is already on your laptop — 15 minutes
A practical walkthrough of how Outlook, Teams, Copilot, and human intelligence work together to plug the drains. Not theory. Demonstrated live in the tools you and your team use every day.
The time recovery model — 10 minutes
How to recover lost time as a performance improvement initiative — not a training programme. How you, your team leader, or your L&D and HR colleagues can lead it, measure it, and demonstrate real impact.
Your next step — 5 minutes
One practical action you can take this week. Then an open Q&A. Bring what is actually happening in your team — the more specific, the better.
What others are saying
Your facilitators
Gerrit Cloete
Gerrit works with teams to find where their time is draining away — and to recover it. His approach reframes productivity as a time recovery challenge, not a training problem. He has worked with L&D, HR, and executive teams across multiple industries to unlock the capacity that is already in the building.
Duncan Hattingh
Duncan works inside the tools your teams already own — Outlook, Teams, and Copilot — to apply the fixes that recover lost capacity. Where others talk about productivity, Duncan implements it. He turns the diagnosis into a working system that the team owns and runs themselves.
