French-Canadian engineer and workplace expert Yvon d’Anjou has set up aluminium smelters and giant industrial installations around the world for Rio Tinto Alcan.
A keynote speaker at the forthcoming World Productivity Congress, d’Anjou will explain that productivity begins with thinking productively, or having a “productive mindset”. |
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
For productive thinking to become instilled and instinctive, management must establish workplace climates in which employees have a strong sense of belonging and actively want to contribute.
“ A productive mindset is a sure sign that an organisation is headed down the right path,” says d’Anjou: “productivity then drives business processes and shape best practices, rather than vica-versa. ” |
|
|
|
|
As d’Anjou concludes: ”Any organisation operated by a workforce with a collective ‘productive mindset’ can continue to thrive in any economic circumstances”.
Do you need to recession- and inflation-proof your business?
