Productivity is defined as: Doing the right thing (effectiveness). in the right way (efficiency). all the time (occupancy). The only way poor quality can happen is if you do the wrong thing, or the right thing in the wrong way, or if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time. It just seems such a waste if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time.

Internet pioneer and permission marketing author Seth Godin wrote on his blog the other day that there are two kinds of recessions. The first is cyclical, pat of the natural order of things, and has a definitive beginning and end. The other kind is permanent, where jobs go away and don’t come back. Ever. That second one he opines is what we are in now.
