Hi Martin,

I’ve enjoyed reading your ‘Ask iWise2’ responses over the past few weeks, so I thought that I’d drop you a quick question.

In my company, the management are really tuning up the heat.  We’ve been downsizing people, without downsizing our workloads and every week it seems that we have to start work on a new change project, initiative or budget cut.  My Business As Usual work and targets haven’t gone away.  Myself and my team don’t know how we can keep absorbing this additional work, when resources are already at breaking point.

There’s more restructuring and job cuts on the way, so we are all keen to be seen as delivering and delivering well.  How can we absorb this extra work, and squeeze more out of the already long hours that we are doing each day?   Cheers.
