Corporate Best Practices for Successful Productivity Improvement Programs

Data were gathered to assess sources of the inconsistent implementation across company portfolios. The lack of corporate ownership contributes to the challenges of consistent productivity practice use and implementation.

Barriers exist across organization groups and departments as well as vertically in company hierarchies. This research identified key and common themes inhibiting success and aides companies with identification of program-specific Barriers.

The Implementation Framework of the Corporate Productivity Program is designed to enable a company to identify program strengths and weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses consist of evaluated Actions that represent program-level best practices. In addition, likely barriers to program success are identified through relationships with weak Actions.
