Productivity Study - Sales force effectiveness
| |
| Based on a Proudfoot Consulting study, salespeople were asked to give a realistic estimate of the time they devoted to five categories of activity. They were then questioned on how much time they would ideally like to spend in each category. Finally, they were observed on the actually time they used on each. (Hint: are you measuring these or at least showing your team that they are important?)
Then, they were observed on how effective they were, scoring them in eight key areas of competency. (Hint: are you looking for, training and coaching these competencies in your team?)

Beginner's Mind

| Beginner’s Mind is an amazing way to prepare yourself to learn. Being able to let go of any suppositions and simply be a sponge is a gift beyond explanation.

Productivity Improvement via Method study
| |
| There are a number of approaches to improving productivity: the best-known currently is probably ‘Lean’ but such approaches go back many years to the days of the early ‘productivity pioneers’.

This refers to the early days of ‘work study’ when the aim (as it often still is today) is to reduce the time taken by, and the motion involved in, work.
The ‘improvement’ methodology of work study that derived from time & motion study was method study … and an understanding of method study gives a real insight into how all productivity improvement methodologies work.
