The Secret to Unlocking Productivity

Rising costs, pressure on margins, skills shortages and rapidly changing technology mean organisations need to find ways to create more value from the resources they already have. Yet many leaders struggle to answer a surprisingly fundamental question: how productive is our organisation, and what would we change if we knew?

Most productivity conversations focus on individuals - how people can manage their time better, work faster or get more done. This session takes a different perspective.

Amanda helps leaders look at productivity at an organisational level, exploring how effectively their organisation turns the resources it invests into value.

Delegates will learn how to measure organisational productivity and use Amanda's productivity culture model to understand what that measurement might be telling them about their business. They will explore where productivity can be gained or lost and consider the strategic choices available to them through Amanda's Four Levers of Productivity: People, Price, Process and Promise.

This is not a personal productivity session. It isn't about helping individuals squeeze more into their working day. It is about helping leaders understand how their organisation creates value and make better decisions about how to improve it.
