3. Productivity - global and local
«Productivity isn’t everything, but in
the long run it is almost everything.
A country’s ability to improve its
standard of living over time
depends almost entirely on its
ability to raise its output per
worker»
Paul Krugman, The Age of Diminishing
Expectations (1994)
Low workforce mobility between countries/
regions, but not within the service sector.
Its easy to move ideas and thoughts around!

4. Get things done - together!
Productivity is to get the right resources to do
a task - at the right time, in a flexible, quick
and co-ordinated way.
The lack of a common «getting things done»-
infrastructure is vital.
Symphonicals vision is to build this global
infrastructure - to make it fun to get things
done - together

5. All the meetings!
In Symphonical you can get things done and have fun
together, regardless of WHERE you are in the world and
at WHAT time you collaborate.
You should NOT participate in (and certainly not travel
to) meetings that are NOT prepared, where one does
NOT define action points, do NOT make decisions, do
NOT set a deadline and do NOT following up decisions.
YOU SHOULD REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE KIND OF
TERRIBLE MEETINGS OR YOU CAN MAKE THEM BETTER -
WITH SYMPHONICAL
