The Secret to Unlocking Productivity: Combating Lethargy

The UK seems trapped in a vicious cycle of poor productivity which can’t even be blamed on Brexit - it’s been happening since 2008! This session looks at the impact that stagnating productivity in the UK is having on the profitability of businesses and their employees’ wage packets and examines what causes poor productivity and how we can combat it.

To get to the root of the problem, businesses need to be able to recognise the signs that they have a productivity problem.

This session helps business leaders to understand common symptoms of poor productivity, how to measure productivity and identify their own productivity culture and ultimately which levers they can pull to increase productivity; process, people, price and promise.

This is not a personal productivity session. Amanda will not cover how individuals can increase their personal productivity. Instead, Amanda examines organisational productivity – how a system can be more or less productive.
