Everyone is talking about efficiency and working smarter not harder but how many of us feel like we’re being held back?

Following on from my last couple of posts, it seems there is a great opportunity to carry out a study to see what the causes of this less-than-optimal productivity really are.

Once we know what is slowing us down individually, organisationally and nationally we can crowd source ways to improve. There’s no business angle from TrainNation’s point of view, it’s more of a personal interest in industry improvement – hopefully it will help a few of us.

To this end I've set up a survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DNZ5GCN It would be great if we could get as many people as possible to complete it; this would really give a useful overview of the issues.  To this end it has been expressly designed to be quick and easy; it consists of only 8 questions - 7 multiple choice and one text.  My test group has found that it takes about two to four minutes to complete. 

I really would appreciate it if you could encourage your contacts to complete it as well; people from all industry sectors and disciplines, so long as they work in the UK or for UK based organisations. I shall be sending it out to my contacts list as well as putting it out on my social media and I’d be very grateful if you would too so we can have a really comprehensive view and hopefully some great ideas too.

In return I will send the findings to all contributors - I’ll keep you posted with regard to the survey outcomes.
