I recently sent out a call for productivity-minded people that want to implement David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology in Lotus Notes to join the eProductivity Workgroup Pilot program. eProductivity came out of beta a month ago and now I'm doing the research on enterprise deployments to learn how they are using and benefitting from eProductivity and how I can facilitate deployments. The eProductivity workgroup pilot program is for workgroups of 10-20 people and allows me to personally coach a group of people and learn from them as they start getting things done in Notes. To help them get started, I offered to host private webinars for these pilot sites to assist them in the process of learning to use eProductivity.

This week, I delivered the first of several private webinars, this one for an eProductivity Workgroup Pilot at a large organization on the East Cast.  Most of the people on the call were technically savvy but many were new to the GTD methodology.

Using some slides from last year's eProductivity Conference, I began by presenting a brief overview of my eProductivity Equation and some of the GTD principles and concepts that I have found most helpful. Then, we took a tour of some of the key eProductivity features. Finally, we wrapped up with an extended time of Q&A. We did not cover all of eProductivity but we laid a foundation for future webinars.

After the call, I asked my host if I could share the audio portion of the webinar with other eProductivity users; she graciously agreed...


I have edited out several sections of company-specific information. What remains is approximately 81 minutes of audio, divided into three parts:

Part I. Introduction to productivity methodology
The eProductivity Equation
The GTD principles I have found most helpful
Duration: Approximately 31 minutes

Part II. A brief tour of eProductivity for Lotus Notes
Duration: Approximately 20 minutes

Part III. Questions and Answers
Duration: Approximately 30 minutes

Toward the end of the recording, I provide information for individuals and workgroups that may want to join the eProductivity Workgroup Pilot program.

The recording is fast-paced, as I tried to fit a lot of information into a short period of time but I think it came off OK. Obviously, without video, some of the demo segment may be a little hard to follow but the audio narrative is still quite valuable.

Let me know if you find this webinar recording helpful, if so, perhaps I'll record another one with slides and video to share. I welcome your feedback!
