Slow productivity may sound like an oxymoron, but it’s not. What’s more, it could really help your team with radical prioritization.
For so long, we’ve thought about productivity unilaterally: Go as fast as possible and do as much as possible.
But are speed and volume what we’re actually after when we set out to complete a task? No. More likely goals are quality, consistency, and creativity.
It begs the question of why, as an industry, we are so obsessed with the concept of productivity.
What if productivity meant using the resources available – no less, no more – to sustain high-quality output over time? In effect, this is what slow productivity is all about.
