Sounds interesting Frank!

I know from training people that 25 mins is about as long as humans to appear to be able to concentrate. By taking lots of breaks, you actually end up increasing the productivity within the space.

The biggest obstacle to running training progammes in this fashion is guess who? Management of course! Who will worry that this technique has the opposite effect. It amazes me how companies continue to completely remain uneducated as to getting their employees to be more productive.

Sales, where I have a lot of experience is notorious in that most sales teams spend vasts amounts of time on the wrong tasks, largely because they are expected to the management.

It's a strange world sometimes :)
