The Efficiency Paradox – TEDxUmeå
During this lecture I will talk about something that I think is extremely interesting: What is efficiency? It is a term that everyone uses, but very few understand. I would argue that 98% of all organizations have an incorrect understanding of what “true” efficiency really is. We tend to over focus on individual and functional performance. We think that efficient “islands” is a good thing. The more we deliver the better! The problem is that research shows the exact opposite! The more we try to squeeze out from the different islands within our organization, the more inefficient the organization will be! So what is the conclusion? Being “busy” is BAD! We call this the efficiency paradox! During this lecture I will describe why this phenomena occurs and how we have to redefine our view on efficiency in order to deliver true customer satisfaction!

“Hva er Lean?”
Niklas Modig forteller hva Lean er og hvorfor han sammenligner det med å lage pannekaker.
“Det er spesielt 2 ting man må vite når det gjelder å forstå hva en Lean virksomhetsstrategi er; virksomheten må prioritere flyt fremfor ressurs, og man fokuserer på “den lærende organisasjonen” i stedet for “den utøvende organisasjonen” […] Man må skape en virksomhet som kontinuerlig jobber med forbedring.” For more information: www.sprint.no
