What benefits are there besides learning how to better to deal with e-mail?
Even if getting one’s e-mail under control is the first priority, it is far from being the most significant benefit of AST. While most companies take a reactive approach to an employee’s self- administration (Outlook) by giving them the program and hoping for the best, companies who supply AST to their employees take a proactive approach. Instead of reinforcing various beliefs and behaviors developed in the past, AST reinforces consistent beliefs and behaviors needed to support present and future strategies according to thoroughly tested best practice. Rather than allowing the volume of incoming information and threshold problems influence the success or failure of a project, tactical planning and the application of resources become the most important determinants of success or failure.
