You're facing shifting priorities at work. How can you maintain service levels without compromise?

To maintain service levels amid shifting priorities, I focus on strategic prioritization and resource allocation. I consistently reassess tasks to align with immediate business objectives and use data-driven decision-making to identify critical areas requiring attention. By leveraging technology for automation and streamlining processes, I ensure efficiency and accuracy. Effective communication with stakeholders ensures transparency and manages expectations. Empowering my team with training and clear goals also allows them to adapt quickly, ensuring service delivery remains uncompromised and high-quality.

In my experience, everyone believes that what they have on their desk is a rush. The most important part for me it is identifying where the opportunities are for me to make an impact. All else being equal, I need to adapt to the job where my contribution will have the most impact.

Prioritize activities nearest to the goals, designate other activities to your colleagues, and follow them through once done with your prioritized activity.

I usually prioritize my most important project first, then onto projects that are least important not as time consuming or pertinent in time constraints. This allows for time to get the more time consuming projects done and you're able to ask a co-worker to look at your work and make any changes that they may find.

I create trackers in Excel or SharePoint for at-a-glance knowledge to answer questions and have an easier time switching wheelhouses. Clarification from management or executives with regard to your priorities will help your time management. I block out time in my day on Outlook for dedicated time to projects and they are scheduled with defined priority colors. Navigating change and shifting priorities is easier when you respect your own time and set yourself up for success.

Technology is useful when you take the time to understand its use and capabilities. That way you can maximize the use since you know what to leverage.

Quality work means doing it right, not fast. When you are focused on doing your best, it becomes routine, and then you are able to do it in a timely manner.

Regardless on quantity and speed, quality is the real game changer. Customers will invest in quality products and services. This has been proven by many companies, including Apple.

Another effective way to manage stress is to delegate effectively. Communicating expectations clearly and assigning tasks to team members based on their strengths and availablity helps to balance workload. Ensure teams have access to the resources and give the team autonomy to make decisions. This will help drive a sense of ownership and accountability in the team.

Often is needed to take a step back, breathe, regroup, reassess the situation, and then get back to it. Burnout is real and dangerous. If stress is not managed correctly, it will consume your work life and your personal life.

Also communication with your team is especially important in times like this. First, never discount the knowledge and problem-solving abilities of your people - you aren't in this alone! Plus they need to be kept in the loop as much as possible when things are in rapid flux - unexpected and unplanned changes can be deadly to morale and motivation. Minimize this by letting them know what's happening and why

In my experience, when priorities change that decision is coming down the chain of command and the re-prioritization is out of my control. It is important for my clients typically internal to know that it was 1) Not my decision to change the priority of their project, but also 2) for them to understand who the committee is that makes those decisions and how they can influence their projects importance. Knowledge is power, and sometimes it is just a lack of understanding from said committee towards the project as to why it gets re-prioritized.

A organização é a premissa de todo início, meio e fim de qualquer projeto, não ser organizado e ter o controle significa perder o foco em alguma etapa, o que vai gerar um retrabalho e investimentos não previstos no decorrer da implantação e negociação.

Organization is my superpower! If you stay organized, everything else falls into place effortlessly. Organizing your workspace, tasks, deadlines, and goals helps keep a reasonable balance of your time and productivity.
