THE NEW VIEW ©
The Jensen Group, 2014-16 SimplerWork Index 1 (973) 539-5070 www.simplerwork.com It’s pretty simple, really. Of all the gazillions of measures and surveys done at work, hardly anyone ever asks, “Do we make it easy to get your work done?” and “How easy (or hard) is it to get your work done?” For two decades,1 Jensen Group research has been digging deep into issues like these. Yes. Easy matters! 1. Search for a Simpler Way, ongoing study, begun 1992. Earlier research that spawned the Simpler Way study began in the late 1980s We wondered: Could the same approach be applied internally? With employees? We based our SimplerWork IndexTM on the extensive field of consumer research: Companies already reap high returns by making it easier for customers to choose their brand and products....

© The Jensen
Group, 2014-16 SimplerWork Index 1 (973) 539-5070 www.simplerwork.com The New Compass Ease-of-use and reduced-use-of-time are equal to —and sometimes more important than — recognition, compassion, inclusion, rewards, process, strategy, structure, penalties, loyalty and hierarchy in their ability to drive human behavior.1 1. Jensen Group, Search for a Simpler Way, ongoing study, begun 1992: By 1994, ease-of-use and time sensitivity appeared as critical trends within communication. As we expanded our study into all areas of organizational effectiveness, with more than 1,000,000 people in over 35 countries, these trends have only grown stronger.

© The Jensen
Group, 2014-16 SimplerWork Index 1 (973) 539-5070 www.simplerwork.com Why Simple Matters It’s about work: How it really gets done Think about it this way: If your favorite airline truly pampered you, gave you lots of rewards, good deals, perks, privileges and status, and flew to all your favorite destinations — but didn’t make it easy to get where you were going — how loyal would you be to them? How productive would you be? How much of you would you have to change, just to keep using them? Well, the same applies to our work, and the companies that employ us. The design of work has not kept up with the needs of work. In most companies, doing great work is not as easy as it should be. That’s because most everything companies design to get work done is still corporate-centered. In shifting to knowledge and service work — where every teammate’s understanding, clarity, interactions and choices could be the difference between success and failure, or between MoreBetterFaster and not good enough, not fast enough — tools, support, processes and information need to be a lot more user-centered. The Jensen Group has been studying the space where user-centered design also yields better results for the company and their customers. The SimplerWork IndexTM builds simpler companies by understanding the six disciplines that make it a lot easier to get stuff done and deliver business results. NEW COMPASS

Group, 2014-16 SimplerWork Index 1 (973) 539-5070 www.simplerwork.com New View of Work Design 1992 to 1999: Developed Index; Borrowed from the world of consumerism where respect’s impact on the bottom-line had already been proven.Because all consumer research shows that perfecting how they treat you in areas of Clarity/Navigation/ Fulfillment/Usability/Speed/and Time means you will buy more, and stay as a loyal customer! TO DATE, 2015 Surveyed over 350,000 individuals in more than 4,000 companies. Results: Four or more Unfavorable: 65% Four or more Favorable: 20% Competing on Clarity Evaluates manager’s effectiveness in helping individual work smarter and faster 51% favorable Navigation Evaluates company’s effectiveness in helping individual find who or what s/he needs 39% favorable Fulfillment of Basics Evaluates company’s effectiveness in work-oriented communication and knowledge management 39% favorable Usability Evaluates company’s effectiveness in all that it designs to help people get tasks done 34% favorable Speed Evaluates company’s effectiveness in enabling employees to work in a 24/7, ever-faster world 26% favorable Time Evaluates company’s respect for employees’ time as an asset to be invested 12% favorable So What? If you are an executive in a large company (entrepreneurial environments fare much better) with 100 employees... 49 have to go back to their manager again and again to figure out what they’re supposed to do 61can’t find what they need to do their best 61are filling in the blanks for themselves on task/goal-communication 66think their son’s X-Box works better than the tools you supply 74think you are email when it comes pushing speed down the chain of command, and snailmail when it comes to acting on employee feedback 88have been trained by the company to guard their time, or at least to be dubious and have second thoughts or hang back, when asked to give more of it The Index completely changes how you look at productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness

Time Whether the company
respects each worker’s time/attention as assets to be invested wisely Biggest Changes: Equal weight to both requires greatly improved emphasis on user-centered design For most organizations, this will be the biggest attitudinal shift: That time and attention are assets that each individual chooses to invest (or not), and that the value they get in return for their investment is critical to their decision Speed How fast workers get what they need to work smarter, not harder Biggest Change: Equal weight to both requires greatly improved emphasis on user-centered design Usability How easy it is for workers to use corporate-built tools, support, processes, training and dev. Biggest Change: Ditto...Equal weight to both requires greatly improved emphasis on user-centered design Fulfillment of Basics How easy it is for workers to get the right information, the right way, at the right time Biggest Change: Even though the sweet spot gives equal weight to both the worker and the company, to get there most organizations will need to greatly improve their emphasis on user-centered design Navigation How easy it is for workers to find who/what they need Biggest Changes: Far greater information transparency and use of peer-to-peer social networks Compete on Clarity Manager’s ability to tailor information to each worker’s needs Biggest Change: Greatly increase coaching and communication training for managers Sweet Spots1 Go too far in user-centered design and you lose corporate controls, don’t go far enough and you lose efficiencies, speed, innovation and your best talent 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 USER-CENTERED CORPORATE-CENTERED Highest levels of individual personal productivity Highest levels of organizational productivity © The Jensen Group, 2014-16 SimplerWork Index 1 (973) 539-5070 www.simplerwork.com1.

© The Jensen
Group, 2014-16 SimplerWork Index 1 (973) 539-5070 www.simplerwork.com Getting Started Changing the conversation among your senior execs, and within your organization, is the most important first step (Self-awareness, evaluation, understanding and discussion what needs to change is where every big change begins) Survey: Use the SimplerWork Index Survey Sample a representative cross-section of your workforce. Just to begin the conversation, can be as little as 100 people Use the New Lens: What are your biggest Aha’s? Truly detailed data-crunching can come later. Right now, just consider: How different is the workforce’s view from the senior team’s? Change the Conversation How could building a simpler company — being far more user-centered in key areas — be a new competitive advantage in the marketplace and in the war for talent? ᕡ ᕢ ᕣ
