2022: The challenge of increasing productivity in a VUCA environment

Increasing productivity today requires great creativity. The last few years, and the pandemic in particular, have accelerated digitalization to unexpected levels. In the last decade we have come further than we expected.

In this article we discuss the implications of this. We will also share some keys to increasing productivity, focusing on the importance of technology as we move forward. 

Keys to increasing productivity in 2022

Increasing Productivity in 2022


In 2022, the transformations that companies have been experiencing will deepen. A VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environment leads to abruptly changing markets that demand close attention.

Managers are therefore faced with great uncertainty. This forces them to understand the direction consumption and supply chains are going in a complex world marked by many different opinions.

Ambiguity arises because not everyone sees things in the same way, and yet we must reach agreements in order to function. Thus the digital world comes to be a meeting point for increasing productivity. 

Process digitalization

The decade began with a push towards digitalization. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of these technologies. This challenges companies to transform themselves to increase productivity and stay in business.

Many processes that used to be done manually are now automated. This allows you to know the results in real time. Thus, you can have information on key indicators (KPIs) in real time and make better decisions.

Giving customers a better digital and physical experience

In 2022, putting the customer at the center of the process will lead to increased productivity. Businesses need to be more aware that revenue depends on customer perception.

For this reason, they now focus on creating customer-focused experiences; even automated processes are personalized. The challenge is to make your service stand out from the competition by emphasizing quality.

Customer-oriented design allows you to optimize the customer experience, be it digital or face-to-face. This directs resources to ensure that customers feel secure and at ease, thereby increasing sales.

Software and security to increase productivity

It is important to draw attention to the fact that we are still in a pandemic. Teleworking will thus be maintained, as will physical distance and the other measures taken so far. The use of software to support these restrictions is now required.

In the office, it is important to regulate spaces and people's locations while maintaining appropriate distance; it is also important to consider the sanitization of unoccupied workstations. All these processes can be automated.

Facilities management software improves your comapny's productivity.

The use of software to control various processes and protect security is a trend. In addition, by automating processes, productivity increases. Thus people will be doing the things computers can't do.

Business adapting to change to increase productivity

Charles Darwin noted that it is not the strongest species that survives, but the one that adapts best. If we heed this and heed what Peter Drucker says regarding learning organizations, we conclude that adaptation is necessary for survival.

Adapting to change means listening to customers and their needs. Understanding that employees are also customers. In this respect, trends show that hybrid work will continue.

Adapting to technological change will help your business survive in 2022.

It is therefore important that your company be able to manage this as a matter of course and not as a contingency. This requires communication systems to guarantee processes on the one hand and customer service on the other.

The importance of technological solutions in 2022 

Adopting Technologies to Increase Productivity

If you want to increase productivity in 2022, you need technological solutions. These tools allow you to optimize processes. Facilitating seemingly small actions such as workspace management increases efficiency.

Technological solutions make it possible to automate processes and make better decisions, thus increasing productivity. 

In this vein, Corporate Workplace allows you to place your employees in the ideal workstation. This tool also allows you to manage health checks to protect everyone on the premises.

You can also use Corporate Lobby. This is a visitor control register. Thus you will have data records of who visits the company and make correct decisions that do not affect productivity. 

Meanwhile, trends in 2022 are moving towards process automation. At Parso, we have already been working on solutions that protect people. Taking care of your employees is an excellent way to increase productivity.

Conclusion

Increasing productivity must be your priority in 2022. To achieve this, keep in mind that you are navigating a VUCA environment. You can reduce risks by incorporating technology and automating repetitive processes.

At Parso we offer you our software. Corporate Workplace and Corporate Lobby are tools that facilitate the facility space and access management, making processes more efficient.
