More productive people and processes, fast.
In many countries, productivity growth has been sluggish for over 15 years. It is the reason why we are all working harder for less money, and yet despite many attempts to overcome this, it remains a significant challenge.
Yet productivity is a poorly understood concept - few companies measure it effectively, and even fewer understand how they can change it for the better. In UNBLOCK, Amanda Sokell sets out the root cause of a poor productivity culture and outlines four levers to transform your productivity, and therefore your profits, in only 100 days.
Amanda Sokell is a process and productivity expert who helps companies thrive. She’s also a popular speaker, author, entrepreneur, creative, polymath and educationalist; lover of learning, chocolate, dancing and difference.
In a 25-year career spanning public relations, software development, coaching, mentoring and training, Amanda has helped transform the productivity culture of organizations from global pharmaceuticals to family-run microbusinesses.
At a time when UK productivity is in such bad shape, this is an important read. I’d recommend it for any business owner who wants to drive their profitability. It’s full of useful practical and actionable steps to make a difference - Amazon 5*
The messages of poor performance and how to approach it are efficiently delivered...There are plenty of case studies that illustrate the main points. The calculations for productivity bring to light just how a company is performing overall and I appreciate how the 4 levers have an effect on raising that measure of productivity. Amanda's style of writing puts you in the middle of her thought process as she explains her approach, like you were in the conversation. I recommend this to business consultants as well as managers of companies - Amazon 5*
