Another one bites the dust

Today, the World Productivity Congress in South Africa closes. Key lessons? Well, from a world event you might not be surprised to find that a key lesson is that many productivity issues are the same the world over, but many are set in a local context. Beware global consultancy organisations that offer pre-packaged solutions; always filter your own knowledge of technical issues through your own knowledge of the location where the issues are being addressed. If you don't have that local context knowledge, find it! Then you might be able to turn your technical knowledge into practical wisdom!
