When the Workload is Light
Slow periods don’t have to be idle ones. This topic explores creative, purposeful ways to keep teams engaged, learning, and contributing when project work eases off.
When the Workload is Light helps leaders turn downtime into development time. Instead of viewing slow periods as lost productivity, it reframes them as opportunities to sharpen systems, strengthen culture, and spark innovation. From creating internal projects and mock pursuits to capturing videos, writing manuals, and refreshing proposal tools, this topic shows how to keep people motivated through meaningful, well-structured activities. The goal is to make light workloads feel like an investment in future capability—not just a lull between deadlines.
