It's the eternal question of management, but the answer may lie in cutting-edge research on short-term memory and organisational design. In this talk, we'll reveal practical heuristics to identify cognitive overload in your teams - even if you're not part of them - and adjust the flow of work to not only maximise delivery, but also increase retention by creating space for people to grow. We’ll underscore the urgency of implementing these strategies with real-life stories of successful implementations and also some of the pitfalls to avoid!
