The Cost of a Problematic Culture
Many organisations unknowingly operate in a Problematic Culture—where inefficiencies are accepted as "just the way things are." Without a clear strategy for improvement, productivity growth remains stagnant, limiting potential and profitability.
In this article, I explore two contrasting productivity growth scenarios:
📉 0.4% annual growth—a slow, reactive approach that barely moves the needle.
📈 2.3% annual growth—a structured, systematic approach that drives real impact over time.
The difference? A shift from fire-fighting to proactive, sustainable productivity.
Where does your organisation stand? Read on to learn how to move from a Traumatic or Problematic Culture to one that is Systematic and ultimately Automatic.
