The following ‘Management Action’ pages cover productivity improvement within individual organisations
-
They concentrate on what managers at organisation, process or task level should do if they are to manage their teams’ productivity levels well
-
There’s a 5-stage productivity improvement process that managers at any level in any sector need to follow if they are to continually improve their teams’ productivity levels, whatever their size
-
The first stage is strategic, determined by senior management – the other four are tactical viz:
-
A corporate plan – https://www.productivityknowhow.com/?page_id=325 – to define long term aims and broad thrusts to be taken, ensuring all managers are ‘pulling together’ in the same direction rather than working independently
-
Good productivity measures – https://www.productivityknowhow.com/?page_id=122 – and targets derived from the corporate plan, enabling every manager to be in good control and ensure his team is ‘on track’
-
Good analysis tools – https://www.productivityknowhow.com/?page_id=327 – to identify where productivity improvements are needed
-
Good project management skills – https://www.productivityknowhow.com/?page_id=329 – to make big (> 20%) productivity improvements
