Data on overcoming procrastination is abundant; insight about it is not. Policy on the people management and development discipline is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the wider people management and development agenda, not for observers of it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in overcoming procrastination, not around theory headings. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this strand of people management and development in their own setting. Participants finish able to explain the people management and development discipline to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting overcoming procrastination and under-invest in testing it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this aspect of people management and development outperform teams that only plan it. The final module sets out how progress on the wider people management and development agenda will be evidenced six months later.
