For managers at all levels who are interested in
making big productivity improvements
-
Our focus is on measuring the right things and then finding practical ways to close performance gaps using approaches which have been proven to work well
-
Productivity improvement is a complex subject embracing most management disciplines and affecting all organisations, large and small, in all sectors, public and private
-
Sadly, too many managers believe productivity was relevant to the shop floor in the manufacturing sector alone, not all levels in all sectors, especially services which now dominate ‘developed economies’
-
The upside of widespread productivity improvement is a vast increase in national economic growth rates and standards of living, mostly achieved by reducing unit costs of goods and services enabling many more people to afford them, thereby increasing profits and so pay levels
-
The latter creates even more demand for different and/or better goods and services so economies, standards of living and quality of lives are further improved
-
With such benefits, ‘how to improve productivity’ has become the most important peace-time issue facing any manager or government minister – at least in ‘non-pandemic times’
-
This website offers extracts from the 21 sections of our latest book on productivity – ‘Productivity Knowhow Revisited’ – plus articles posted weekly which address issues raised in them – see the right-hand column on this page for a list of them all
-
Together, this website’s pages, the book and the weekly posts target managers on the front-line who are keen to make big productivity improvements but lack the productivity knowhow
-
Their overall aim is to simplify the complex, increase managers’ understanding of how to improve productivity and enable them to take effective action – to the benefit of all
