Pitstop engages and energizes teams around ‘the way we work'. That is essential for two reasons – only those who are closest to the work can effectively optimize it and for it to succeed they must be the primary benefits of any improvements made.
Why settle for tracking somebody's productivity? asks one of our project coaching partners. ‘Surely, what you want to do is boost it!! The problem is that productivity tracking something you do to somebody, optimizing ways of working is something you do with somebody, indeed with a team. However, while one just gives you data, the other gives you results!'
