HOW DOES A PROPERTY PROJECT ENHANCE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE? The best companies now know, without a doubt, where productivity - real and limitless productivity - comes from. It comes from challenged, empowered, excited, rewarded teams of people… engaging every single mind in the organisation, making everyone a part of the action, and allowing everyone to have a voice - a role - in the success of the enterprise. Doing so raises productivity not incrementally, but by multiples. Multiples of 8 according to Mike West's 10 yr study.

"The best companies now know, without a doubt, where productivity - real and

limitless productivity - comes from.

It comes from challenged, empowered, excited, rewarded teams of people… engaging

every single mind in the organisation, making everyone a part of the action, and

allowing everyone to have a voice - a role - in the success of the enterprise.

Doing so raises productivity not incrementally, but by multiples."
