How Layout Affects Productivity

If you truly want your productivity efforts to be enhanced, you must plan ahead. This includes properly understanding and laying out your companies objectives in plain sight. It also means having a realistic implementation plan. For instance, let’s consider Company A and Company B. Company A is a fly-by-night company who doesn’t believe in planning ahead. They just market new businesses without doing any market research. If they think a product will sell, they simply market it and hope for the best. In contrast, Company B takes their time and effort and only markets products with specific criteria. To come to this decision, Company B encourages group input in increasing their productivity during marketing and reward their employees for taking an active and creative marketing approach. Company B understand that one person or groups’ output is another’s input and pride themselves on having a strong network of interlocking inputs and outputs. The result? Company A goes bankrupt in 1 year whereas Company B exceeds their corporate goals by 1 million.

To be successful, you must be like Company B. You must understood and lay out your corporate goals in a logical manner. You must understand the value of taking your time and allow the progression of ideas to flow smoothly. In addition, you must be willing to make internal structural changes to maximize productivity and success. In addition, you must be willing to interlock departments and be open to structural changes. After all, you don’t want employees spending a lot of time, effort, communication, movement and other activity “wasted” by virtue of a poor layout. Therefore, you should also be willing to restructure departments to maximize effectiveness.

In conclusion, layout effects productivity in many ways. The key to making it work for you is to plan ahead and be open to change. By doing this, you’ll surely succeed like Company B and won’t find yourself on the brinks of financial ruin from failure to take a more logical route.

Re: Time-Management Success Story! Re: Time-Management Success Story! - @Michelle @Trent I know what you mean! On Monday I had four key objectives to achieve. I didn't write them down - they were so strongly impressed in my noddle that I didn't need to! Perhaps keeping things simple and urgent is the key... Yesterday was a reasonably successful day, but not half as productive as Monday. Productivity always takes a dive when I have two classes to teach in two different parts of town at two different times of day (lunch time/evening)!
Re: The 3 Factors That are Limiting Your Productivity Re: The 3 Factors That are Limiting Your Productivity - Hi Evan, Thanks for a great article and video on 'The 3 Factors That are Limiting Your Productivity'. I think that no matter whether you are self employed like myself or a CEO with staff, it is so important to manage your time so as to maximize the benefit to your business. Your expression Eliminate; Automate; Delegate is easy to remember and will certainly stick in my mind. There are many good business ideas out there but they will ultimately run into difficulty without proper planning and execution so these tips will certainly help. I have also left this comment on the article and will place a link to it on my blog. regards, Mal.
