Approach:

There is always more than one solution to complex operational issues; usually there are alternatives which have both long or short term consequences. The Productivity Constructs consulting approach ensures that your organization clearly understands the implications and trade-offs of each alternative and is making a knowledge-based decision.

 

 

The Productivity Constructs methodology focuses your organization on Operational Effectiveness and identifies systematic opportunities for increasing your operating performance, reducing costs, increasing reliability, improving cycle time to market, and ultimately meeting and exceeding your customer requirements.

Productivity Constructs helps organizations effectively deploy their corporate strategy and respond to continuous market demands and change by maximizing the speed, responsiveness, and flexibility of their operations.  We identify and implement best practices; establishing the restructuring and re-engineering processes; use LEAN practices and improve operational performance such that customers, suppliers, and employees are served more efficiently

Many assume that leadership is about leading people towards the goal of their employer or their group. This is a partial and bounded form of leadership, unsuited to the complex challenges of our time. We need people to transcend the boundaries around their job, community or nation, and engage others in dialogue and action to address systemic problems. We can call this ‘Veraciousor Productive Leadership’. It is a form of leadership that transcends a limited conception of self, as the individual leader identifies with ever-greater wholes. Ultimately, Productive Leadership is a form of action that transcends the need for a single leader, by helping others to transcend their limited states of consciousness and concern and inspire them to also lead for the common good.

Perhaps the best modern example of transcending leadership is Mohandas Gandhi, who aroused and elevated the hopes and demands of millions of Indians and whose life and personality were enhanced in the process. He called on us to understand our connectedness to ‘all that lives’, and identify with ever greater wholes. The transcending leaders of today are not necessarily charismatic figures in positions of institutional authority, but are serving systemic transformations from all levels of organisation or none.

Initiatives in the field of ‘authentic leadership’, ‘transformational leadership’, and ‘servant leadership’ all relate to aspects of the personal qualities described above. The aim of the Veracious Leadership Study Circle is to integrate insights from these different fields with a focus on global social change, and to share the learning with all who are interested in this area.
