Business Growth Barrier 2: Improving Productivity: You, Your Team and Your Business

This workshop is part of "Breaking Through Barriers to Business Growth" series where each month tackles one of the most common obstacles preventing businesses from scaling, increasing profits, and building resilience.

Many businesses hit a growth ceiling because productivity fails to keep pace with increasing demand. Teams become stretched, processes become inefficient, and business owners find themselves constantly firefighting.
The result? Longer hours, increased pressure and reduced profitability.
This practical session explores productivity at three different levels: how you use your own time, how effectively your team performs, and how efficiently work flows through the wider business. We’ll look at common causes of wasted time and capacity, alongside practical ways to improve performance without simply expecting everyone to work harder.

Who It’s For

Business owners who want to improve productivity, release capacity, and get more from the resources they already have. Particularly useful for businesses experiencing increasing workloads, stretched teams, inefficient processes, and those who never have enough time!

In this session, you’ll learn:

- How to improve your own productivity
Explore where your time goes, what interrupts progress, and how to focus more attention on higher-value activity.

- What affects team productivity
Consider the impact of priorities, role clarity, capability, accountability, delegation, and management.

- How to improve productivity across the business
Identify inefficient processes, unnecessary work, duplication, and opportunities to use systems, technology, automation, and AI more effectively.

Key Takeaways
• A clearer understanding of what is reducing productivity in your business 
• Practical ideas for improving your own use of time and attention 
• Opportunities to improve team performance and organisational efficiency 
• Specific productivity improvements to take back and implement
