How are the Productivity Tools Different?
The tools are a comprehensive set of guidebooks aimed at
increasing productivity. They do so by developing people, building teams and engaging everyone in shaping a productive culture.
They represent a major shift in thinking—from
training to learning:
- They do not replace or rule out the need for certain types of training;
they support and increase the effectiveness of all training and learning.
- They do not constitute another "program." They provide a
comprehensive system for individual, team, and organization development
incorporated at your pace.
They provide maximum flexibility to the users:
- They can be used by individuals in self-paced study or by groups in
workshop settings.
- Their modular construction makes it easy to use selected pages as
needed.
- They work well in print and can be easily transported and adapted
electronically.
- They build ownership by respecting the uniqueness of users and inviting
user adaptation.
They increase in value as they are used:
- They are open-ended by design so that they can grow and change with
the users.
- They build shared awareness of crucial processes at work and stimulate
thinking and dialogue aimed at improving results.
- They can be used by an entire organization to develop a collective
way of learning and continuously adding to the organizational knowledge
base.
They address fundamental processes that
are crucial to achieving results:
They are more like software than they are
traditional books or workbooks:
- They dramatically increase the effective use of one's biological
computer, just as a good software program enables you to make effective
use of your desktop computer.
- Collectively, they create an organizational operating system for
processing and communicating vital information, just as the operating
system on your computer provides a way to connect the various components
of your desktop system and move information efficiently from one to the
other.
