Boost Your Productivity with GroupWise
How to stop losing valuable time with email and take control of your productivity.

The feedback so far from Swinburne staff who’ve already done the course:

- Material instantly applicable to workplace
- Wasn’t expecting to learn so many new things. Excellent concepts and handouts
- Learnt how Groupwise can help me manage my workload
- Learnt how to use the software, reduce wasting time and increasing productivity
- The ideas on time management were excellent

The average person utilises less than ten percent of the full potential of any software they’re using on a regular basis. If you’re using Groupwise you could be losing valuable time simply because you don’t know how to make it work for you effectively.
