Love your work
Workshops with at-desk coaching to help you increase productivity,
experience playful momentum and feel more in control.
Why we’re different
Our uniquely practical approach…
At-desk coaching:
Unlike other training companies, we’re passionate about making sure people implement
the things we cover on our workshops straight away so that real change happens. We
structure our sessions to include workshop-room time as well as at-desk coaching. So
on ‘Getting Your Inbox to Zero’ for example, people actually GET their inboxes to zero by
the end of the 3 hours - not just talk about it.

Blended learning:
We see learning as a process that happens from the moment your delegates receive their
invite to the workshop, right through to the weeks and months afterwards. We offer an
email follow-up service to help make sure the learning sticks. We’re also available on
email if your team have any follow-up questions and we love sharing our own
experiences with a full range of different tools - between us, we know all the best tips and
tricks for Outlook, Gmail, PC, Mac, pen and paper, iPhone, Blackberry and whatever else
you might use!

Our story
Think Productive was founded by Graham Allcott in 2009, after he made the transition
from charity Chief Executive to freelance consultant. For the first 2 years as a freelancer,
he was suddenly working without a personal assistant and a great team of ‘do-ers’
and having to rely on himself to be organised, productive and motivated.
Graham’s ‘lightbulb moment’ was after reading David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” (GTD),
a book which ironically had sat gathering dust on his shelf during his busy, stressed-out Chief
Executive days! It led on to him discovering a whole range of productivity books, blogs, ideas
and practical tools which could be of real benefit to individuals and organisations, whilst at the
same time as a consultant he was seeing the waste that goes on – not through negligence,
but from the stress and chaos of information overload.
Think Productive was born. Our vision is “to make a million people in the UK happier by helping
them replace ‘information stress’ with playful, productive momentum”.
We’d love you to be part of making it happen!




   Our ethics
Think Productive has adopted a ‘social business’ approach from day one.
We believe passionately in doing business in the right way, including...
Sustainability - We are passionate about environmental sustainability: We operate as a
carbon-neutral company, we only use recycled paper and we constantly review our
environmental sustainability and ethical purchasing.
Charities - We help charities in a variety of ways: We offer discounts so
that charities can access our workshops and our founder Graham Allcott
also donates his time to 3 charities at board-level and mentors social
entrepreneurs. We also run our own initiative, “Girls, Stay in School”,
which each year provides 2 scholarships for girls at Bhukhabusi Primary
School in Uganda to fund their entire secondary education. It helps the
girls and their families escape poverty but also helps the school promote
awareness of women’s rights in the area.
Being a good employer - Think Productive’s early development also saw it train three people
back into work after periods of unemployment through the Future Jobs Fund. We continue to
offer work experience, internships and apprenticeships as the business grows.
Public workshops
       How to Get Things Done & Getting Your Inbox to Zero


As well as our in-house workshops with ‘at-desk coaching’ for organisations, we also run open
access public versions of our two most popular workshops in cities across the UK.

Our one-day How to Get Things Done workshop will leave you with a greater sense of
clarity and control. We will introduce you to principles from David Allen (GTD), Stephen Covey
(7 habits) and other leading thinkers on personal productivity but crucially we’ll also help you to
develop your own personal workflow system on the day. Not just a workshop but a
do-shop too!

Our half-day Getting Your Inbox to Zero workshop also follows our uniquely practical
approach: turn up with your laptop and we’ll coach you through principles from Merlin Mann
(Inbox Zero), Peter Drucker and David Allen and show you how to email like a Ninja!

Think productive - Love Your Work

  • 1. Love your work Workshops with at-desk coaching to help you increase productivity, experience playful momentum and feel more in control.
  • 2. Why we’re different Our uniquely practical approach… At-desk coaching: Unlike other training companies, we’re passionate about making sure people implement the things we cover on our workshops straight away so that real change happens. We structure our sessions to include workshop-room time as well as at-desk coaching. So on ‘Getting Your Inbox to Zero’ for example, people actually GET their inboxes to zero by the end of the 3 hours - not just talk about it. Blended learning: We see learning as a process that happens from the moment your delegates receive their invite to the workshop, right through to the weeks and months afterwards. We offer an email follow-up service to help make sure the learning sticks. We’re also available on email if your team have any follow-up questions and we love sharing our own experiences with a full range of different tools - between us, we know all the best tips and tricks for Outlook, Gmail, PC, Mac, pen and paper, iPhone, Blackberry and whatever else you might use!

  • 5. Our story Think Productive was founded by Graham Allcott in 2009, after he made the transition from charity Chief Executive to freelance consultant. For the first 2 years as a freelancer, he was suddenly working without a personal assistant and a great team of ‘do-ers’ and having to rely on himself to be organised, productive and motivated. Graham’s ‘lightbulb moment’ was after reading David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” (GTD), a book which ironically had sat gathering dust on his shelf during his busy, stressed-out Chief Executive days! It led on to him discovering a whole range of productivity books, blogs, ideas and practical tools which could be of real benefit to individuals and organisations, whilst at the same time as a consultant he was seeing the waste that goes on – not through negligence, but from the stress and chaos of information overload. Think Productive was born. Our vision is “to make a million people in the UK happier by helping them replace ‘information stress’ with playful, productive momentum”. We’d love you to be part of making it happen! Our ethics Think Productive has adopted a ‘social business’ approach from day one. We believe passionately in doing business in the right way, including... Sustainability - We are passionate about environmental sustainability: We operate as a carbon-neutral company, we only use recycled paper and we constantly review our environmental sustainability and ethical purchasing. Charities - We help charities in a variety of ways: We offer discounts so that charities can access our workshops and our founder Graham Allcott also donates his time to 3 charities at board-level and mentors social entrepreneurs. We also run our own initiative, “Girls, Stay in School”, which each year provides 2 scholarships for girls at Bhukhabusi Primary School in Uganda to fund their entire secondary education. It helps the girls and their families escape poverty but also helps the school promote awareness of women’s rights in the area. Being a good employer - Think Productive’s early development also saw it train three people back into work after periods of unemployment through the Future Jobs Fund. We continue to offer work experience, internships and apprenticeships as the business grows.
