There are many things that you can do to improve the productivity of a group. The problem is not knowing how to approach the task. Each company, team or individual is unique, and there is no universal answer for boosting productivity.
Barriers are there:
When asked “What can we do to get better results?”, managers will rarely look at their own ineffective, worn out processes. Nor are they willing to look at their way of thinking. When thinking and process are left unexamined, barriers to growth and positive change are severley limited.
The simple fact is that how you think about your possibilities (current reality) has the biggest impact on those possibilities. The second element - process has an enormous impact on what you actually accomplish.
New thinking - new process
These two are where you need to start any productivity improvement effort. Thinking helps you expand what you see as possible. Process helps you to improve how you approach your work. It is important to accept that how you do things is driving much of your accomplishment.
Conduct a simple diagnostic on these two items. If you do, you and or the group will be drawn intuitively to what you need to change to get the new results you seek.
I hope that you will use this
