McDonnell-Phillips- Services- Productivity

		Productivity is about doing more with less... . Productivity is not just about machines - it's about people. Productivity is not static - it can be continually improved. The best improvement ideas can come from your own people. Productivity is not just about increasing output - it's about improving processes and focusing on outcomes Improving productivity is an imperative... managers are always under pressure to do more with less. You need to continually design and implement innovative business processes that deliver more value through improved productivity. This is a immense challenge. Improvement ideas can come internally, or from sharing best practices and processes across industries or from leveraging new technologies. The most effective improvements come from challenging the status quo, but doing this hurts! Productivity improvement cannot take place in isolation; it is only one element in a larger change involving an organisation's strategy, people and products. In fact, people and organisational issues often determine how far and fast an organisation can change its processes. At the same time, management must constantly monitor and manage process performance. Aligning measures and reward programs with productivity objectives is critical to sustaining productivity improvement over time.	When do you need help?
