Productivity = Doing more things Efficiency = Doing the right things
I wrote a whole thesis on the subject AMA
Where can I read your thesis?
Haha its “out there” but that would also mean that I need to out myself… Let me have a think on this one. Its also in Swedish but mb not a problem(?)
Depends on what your metric for “productive” is. If you’re producing more cars that have to all be recalled and fixed, you’re not making more money than you would had you made higher quality cars from the start, and you then also lose face and your brand is viewed as inferior, so sales drop, and the spiral goes brr.
That doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t happen in this quarter.
too fuckin’ true
Efficiency is a bit more about also not doing the wrong things :)
Har du en länk kanske?
Wouldnt productivity have two knobs? Efficiency and energy/effort input?
Also efficiency sometimes goes against “right”? If you need resiliancy you then “right” migh include redundancy. In software, that could also be guardrails like memory safety that necissarily take some extra abstraction to implement and a processing penalty?
