Keynote Address - "Productivity Matters"
“Productivity isn’t everything, but, in the long run, it is almost everything” Paul Krugman
“There is no more important structural problem in our economy than productivity” said one Federal Treasurer, whilst another said “95% of productivity gains are coming from only 5% of companies”. A national research agency predicted a potential 36% uplift in GDP from better decision-making practice. But it’s not happening.
Advanced economies averaged only 1% growth over the last 25 years. There’s been no real plan to lift economic and social productivity.
Dr Davis brings unique insight and perspective to this global question.
His Future Maker insight explains how we harness human ingenuity to create human value – more effectively aligning collective action for today’s knowledge, services and wellbeing economy. Is it a breakthrough pathway for low-cost economic stimulation? And what are the implications for boards, policy setters, economies and nations.
Emerging future-making practices can be learned and copied across corporate, government, community sectors – and national economies – to transform human productivity.
“The emergence of theories of electricity did nothing to change the underlying laws of physics – but they did make it possible for us to build powerful high-precision equipment. We now have the beginnings of a new science of high-performance future-making organisations. Game on.”
