Four Functions of Management
Management is centrally concerned with four functions - planning,
organising, leading and controlling. It is through these four functions
that organisational goals can be achieved. Getting things done through
people and other resources and providing direction and leadership
is what Managers do.
Keith Stevens is seen here working with a group of senior managers
in an LEA on planning the next stage of the service's development.

ACT can help in these four areas:
- Planning - the management function concerned with defining goals
for future organisational performance and deciding on the tasks and
resource needed to attain them
- Organising - the management function concerned with assigning tasks
into departments and allocating resources to departments
- Leading - the management function that involves the use of influence
to motivate employees to achieve the organisation's goals
- Controlling - the management function concerned with monitoring
employees' activities, keeping the organisation on track towards its
goals and making corrections as needed
Working with you as a member of YOUR team, we can make a difference
in all these areas, which translates to your "bottom line".

Efficiency, Effectiveness and Performance
ACT can assist your organisation become more goal
directed and strategically focused, whilst at the same time not losing
sight of operational and day-to-day issues. The aim is to make the
organisation more effective - that is, it achieves its stated goals
(and ideally exceeds them!) Contributions to the efficiency of an
organisation are always welcome. Efficiency is about achieving the
stated goals of the organisation with the use of minimal resources
- materials, money and people. |

The ultimate responsibility of managers is to achieve
high performance which is the attainment of organisational goals by using
resources in an efficient and effective manner. A manager's job is complex
and multi-dimensional and requires a range of skills - conceptual skills,
human skills and technical skills. ACT can help managers
in all three areas. The application of these skills changes as managers
move up the organisation
Our Lead Consultant, Keith Stevens, is an experienced Manager in both
the public and private sectors. He is currently External Examiner to Writtle
College in Chelmsford for their DMS and CMS programmes. He is also a Fellow
of the Chartered Management Institute and was, until recently, Chairman
of the local Branch of the CMI.
