Productivity
Your ‘Productivity Architecture’ is the combination of processes, tools, methodologies, and cultural aspects that collectively contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of your operations.
The productivity matrix
Common problems with productivity architectures include a lack of alignment with business goals, poor communication, inefficient processes and workflows, resistance to change, and inadequate employee engagement. Overreliance on technology, insufficient training, and a failure to adapt to changes in the business environment can also hinder productivity. Additionally, unclear performance metrics, security and compliance concerns, and a lack of adaptability contribute to challenges. Addressing these issues requires a holistic approach with a focus on aligning processes with organisational goals.
