Breakthroughs that speed up everything
British productivity is slipping. Global productivity isn’t. What’s the difference, and what can island organisations do about it?
Business author and award-winning keynote speaker Douglas Kruger lifts the veil on six of the most useful answers.
It’s not simply about adding people. And it doesn’t require costly cultural interventions.
In this keynote, Douglas shares the six most efficacious ‘80/20’ principles, to shift the balance of your productivity, with intelligent tweaks to behaviour. What can you do differently, starting today, for the most pronounced results? What leadership techniques have been proven to affect the most change, per trusted sources like Harvard Business Review?
A quick example:
Say you manage ten people. Two are performing well. The other eight are not. Most managers will focus on ‘fixing’ the other eight. But you will get exponentially faster results by studying the two, then teaching ‘what they are doing right.’ It’s called Replicating Bright Spots. It’s a much faster path to productivity. And it’s just one of six techniques Douglas will cover.
Behavioural economics has some astonishing insights for us. Discover a selection of the best at this event.
The ideas are designed to carve years off your leadership teams’ learning curve.
It’s like the old analogy about chopping down a tree. Work hard all day, by all means. Or begin by sharpening your axe. That way, you can get the job done before breakfast.
