Masterclass Productivity

In conversation with Barbara Baarsma and sector experts about productivity

In a time when companies and institutions are facing a growing labor shortage, it is becoming increasingly important to accomplish more work with fewer people. Increasing labor productivity is essential to meet this challenge and ensure the continuity and growth of your organisation.

During this inspiring masterclass, Barbara Baarsma and our sector experts will guide you through the macroeconomic developments in productivity, both in the Netherlands and worldwide. Discover how your sector is performing and get practical tools to immediately start increasing productivity in your company or institution.

Commercial Sector

The commercial sector faces complex challenges such as rising costs and labor shortages. At the same time, there is growing pressure to operate more sustainably and better meet customer needs.

Discover the current state of productivity in the commercial sector and get practical tools to immediately start improving productivity in your organization and the commercial sector.

Note: In the section "setting the scene in the sector," we will use a case study from the transport and logistics sector as an example.

Public sector

The public sector faces the challenge of increasing productivity while the demand for personalized services and customization continues to grow. Political decisions often lead to time-consuming processes, especially in the context of labor shortages and complex regulations.

To improve productivity, investments in technology and digital tools are essential. At the same time, it remains crucial to effectively translate public decisions into customization and maintain the human dimension.

Financial sector

The financial sector faces challenges such as complex regulations and market volatility. Strict and constantly changing regulations require significant resources and attention, which can reduce productivity. Additionally, financial institutions must deal with rapidly changing market conditions and economic uncertainties, complicating the planning and execution of productivity strategies.

The need to continuously innovate and integrate new technologies, such as blockchain and artificial intelligence, brings high costs and complexity. The ability to effectively address these challenges is essential for increasing productivity in the financial sector
