We all want more productivity…
The world abounds with productivity experts of one sort or another:
- Outsource this
- Streamline that
- Squeeze the other

- The way we all focus on, reducing our cost base
- The other way, increasing the value we provide
Both are equally valid but the second way has a couple of things going for it…

It is a lot easier to engage your staff in increasing the value they offer. That is something they can get excited about. Trying to persuade them that outsourcing is a good thing is a different kettle of fish altogether.
