Industry has changed significantly. Today, the two largest sectors of the North American workforce are professional and clerical and the work they conduct is mostly tied to information processing.

Today’s business environment is experiencing a rebirth in the study of work and its simplification. The study of people, the work they do and how it flows is seen as critical to driving organizational efficiency. In fact, former CEO Pat Haggerty described work simplification as “Texas Instruments most effective program for fostering personal involvement at all levels of the organization while yielding tangible benefits to the company.” This presentation will discuss a sensible way to improve business performance.
