Nowadays, business is all about productivity - and our folks produce.
Productivity depends on many factors, including our workforce's knowledge and skills and the quantity and quality of the capital, technology, and infrastructure that they have to work with.
The more you eliminate the inefficient use of information, the better it is for productivity.
It's probably this way with a lot of professionals: At first the BlackBerry is a savior, because it makes you mobile, but then it becomes a curse, because you're at a restaurant and looking down at it under the table.
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
Productivity is a relative matter. And it's really insignificant: What is ultimately important is a writer's strongest books.

Productivity - the amount of output delivered per hour of work in the economy - is often viewed as the engine of progress in modern capitalist economies. Output is everything. Time is money.

Productivity is driven at the enterprise level. Better wages, better performing workplaces, are driven at the workplace level.
The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.
