There has been discussion on the Productivity Futures LinkedIn group this week discussing whether productivity and innovation are natural enemies or bedfellows.
Of course I chimed in - well, I can't resist - and my view is that real productivity development - revolutionary rather than evolutionary - is unlikely without innovation. Innovation can transform productivity.
Tor Dahl reminded the group that productivity is about doing the right things in the right way 100% of the time. Innovation can change what we do - and how we do it. Systematic approaches to improvement - and the standardisation that goes with them - ensure we do the right things ALL the time.
Any of you who want to try to run your organisations without innovation please inform me - I want to stay clear of investing in you. Innovation is the life blood of small businesses snd entrepreneurs - it is how they compete with the big boys.
