MISSION CONTROL® TEACHES PEOPLE HOW TO WORK IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Second Year of Operations Heralds Launch of Programs and Products for Working Effectively in Todays Relentless Environment

PHILADELPHIA, PA (PRWEB) May 25, 2003 -- Mission Control®, an educational corporation that designs and delivers productivity programs and products for the 21st Century, has entered its second full year of operations with a range of new workshops that enable people to deal effectively with the pace and complexity of working in the information age." Over the next several months, Mission Control will introduce a variety of workshops, online courses and CD-ROM programs that enable people to work with a level of productivity and effectiveness that far exceeds that of the outdated and unproductive work approaches that govern most corporate environments.

Although people are being asked to do more with less, current research indicates that somewhere between 50% and 90% of the time spent by knowledge workers and managers is spent in unproductive busy work." In Beware the Busy Manager," a ten-year study published in the February 2002 Harvard Business Review, researchers found that fully 90% of managers squander their time in all sorts of ineffective activities. A mere 10% of managers spend their time in a committed, purposeful, and reflective manner." Mission Control has designed all of its offerings to effectively address this pervasive condition.

Our research shows that real breakthroughs in productivity dont happen until people become aware of their unexamined, unconsciously triggered work habits and obsolete work systems and turn them into new practices and new systems for managing work effectively," said Brian Stuhlmuller, CEO of Mission Control. Weve created a methodology that gives people a whole new approach to work -- new tools and practices that, when implemented, enable people to break the vicious cycle of stress and overwhelm that is commonplace in work environments today."

As a result of the Mission Control methodology, workshop graduates report a new experience at work and an ability to produce outstanding results. Since taking Mission Control, Ive had a 100% increase in productivity," said Debbie Hyde-Duby, president of Pearle VisionCare, Inc. I now have control over my work and Im working on the things that truly make a difference for my company. And, my peace of mind has increased because I am able to be truthful about when things are going to be done. Now if I say it is going to be done, its done. Its priceless."

Mission Controls business growth since its inception reflects the increasing interest in the unique productivity solutions provided by the company. In 2000, when Mission Control was founded, the company offered workshops in 4 markets. Today, the company offers public programs in 26 markets in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Nearly 3,000 people have taken Mission Controls programs since the company was founded, including executives from more than 15 Fortune 500 companies, as well as key staff from Ohio State University, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The workshop has also been offered through The John Glenn Institute at The Ohio State Universitys Fisher School of Business.
