For Organizations: Productivity And Performance Improvement Solutions

Productivity, Performance Improvement and Quality:

 An Alarming Situation: 

  • Pakistan stands at 113 out of 124 countries in the ‘Human Capital Index’ because of its poor performance on educational outcomes, says the Human Capital Report 2015 issued by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
  • Pakistan ranks 129 at Global Competitiveness Index among a total of 144 nations.

The Twelve Pillars of Competitiveness Ranking are as follows:

1.       Institutions 7.  Labour Market Efficiency
2.       Infrastructure 8.  Financial Market Development
3.       Macroeconomic Environment 9.  Technological Readiness
4.       Health and Primary Education 10. Market Size
5.       Higher Education and Training 11. Business Sophistication
6.       Goods Market and Efficiency 12. Innovation

Why are we sharing this information with you?

All the pillars of Global Competitive Index depend on certain factors to improve. There are different factors responsible to develop each factor. However ONE COMMON FACTOR IS QUALITY. Productivity and Quality go hand in hand.

Creating Quality & Productivity Consciousness Workforce:

We are not a QUALITY conscious nation and our organizations are neither quality conscious.

  • Today research has proven that it costs much cheaper to produce a product or service if quality standards are observed.
  • The most important part is that our work force needs to be developed in a set of concepts related to QUALITY, EXCELLENCE, COST REDUCTION, ELIMINATING WASTE, MANGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE.

Our Solution to the Situation:

In our work and efforts with over managers, executives, Head HRs, GMs, Directors and board members of over 300 organizations, we have developed a comprehensive syllabus to create QUALITY CONSCIOUS WORKFORCE resulting into increased Productivity and Performance Improvement:
