The Power of Done - Productivity Today and Tomorrow

This quick read contains Mark Mader and my perspectives on productivity within your companies today as well as a critical look forward at how technology and competition will reshape the productivity landscape.  If you read nothing else, read chapters 9 and 10.

Conclusion of Chapter 9:  "The bottom line is that the next big surge of work productivity in the 21st century will depend on a simple digital metric that measures, monitors and manages ownership of critical tasks in real-time."

Conclusion of Chapter 10:  "...our view is that global work exchanges will ultimately stimulate more productive virtual team participation. And the top and bottom line results will show. And when they eventually become a full-on global reality—and this will happen sooner than we think—dynamic work exchanges will bring high levels of transparency and efficiency that will also dramatically increase the world’s productivity growth."
