I have been managing international teams on global improvement programmes for FTSE and Fortune 100 companies for the last 10 years or so, and have a pretty good grasp on managing productivity from myself and teams of up to 100 - but still loads to learn.

Got my Prince2 foundation, and familiar with it through various public sector contracts.

I am a long term member of Mensa, the high IQ society, and head up two professional bodies in Scotland: ISACA and the Institute of Information Security Professionals.

Have founded two consultancies, and run large teams for two global professional services firms - so have an excellent view of the balance required at both ends.

Tend to look at the bigger picture, rather than the benefits of a specific tool.

comment The effect of sleep, nap & PE on personal productivity?
Initially it did mess up my schedule a bit, but after 12 years of having varied schedules every day I have become somewhat inured to it. Start of day now varies anywhere between 4:30 and 7:00 depending on where I am working that day, so I just move other things around accordingly. I don't get siesta very often though...

@user25464 - the official line from Stack Exchange is that shopping questions are all about opinions, so you will get a variety of answers, none of which are necessarily right. This is not a forum but a site which should be able to provide a single best answer to a question.

comment What is the most effective way to get into 'the zone'?
I use a series of 3 songs - works for me, as I consciously associated that sequence with 'the zone' over time.
