Outsourcing for Productivity
Activate Events • April 14, 2021

As businesses and individuals we have been given a period of grace over the past 12-14 months, a time to RESET, RETHING and REORG.


Unlike money, time can’t be earned back. Are you ship-shape for growth? Or are time-consuming tasks still holding you back?


So what CAN we do about it?


1. Automate (this Harvard Business Review article features plenty of tools for you to try out)

2. Outsource (think of the real value of your time; if a task is less expensive than your earning potential in that time, you know the answer: OUTSOURCE NOW)

3. Use asynchronous communication (i.e. deal with requests when it suits you rather than instantly)

4. Stop treating all decisions like big decisions (act fast, most decisions are reversible)

5. Try task bundling (make those longer phone calls while you power walk; listen to a podcast on your way to work etc)

6. Drop the 60 min mtg time when 15 or 30 would do. We’re all guilty as charged!

We’ll be honest, we can’t help with it all but when it comes to communication and connecting your teams, your brand and customers, let Activate Events take care of Strategic Communication & Virtual Events! That’s one job done! And more strategic time returned to you. We told you we’ll make you rich in no time!


A big shout-out to Steve Glaveski and his revolutionary book and series of productivity workshops.

Abu Dhabi for Corporate Events: My Adventure Among The Sand Dunes and Skyscrapers

By Francesca Parnell • November 3, 2025
In May, I attended a FAM trip to Abu Dhabi to explore how this dynamic Emirate can better support your next corporate event. Firstly, I would like to thank Nikki Buse and Roger Bradley at Destinations Unlimited and Keith Barron at the Abu Dhabi Convention Bureau for hosting me on this amazing trip. And a big thanks to Gaby Seikaly, Reem Nassar and all the team at Gulf Circle Tours DMC for their hospitality, passion and knowledge and all the incredible venues and suppliers who went above and beyond to showcase what makes Abu Dhabi so special. I hope my experiences will give you some insight into this dynamic destination and answer the question ‘Why should Abu Dhabi be your next corporate event location?’
