Process Improvement: How PIQNIC can help your business productivity

Right now we have access to more apps than ever, more information than ever, more storage than ever, and more messages than ever.

We have so much information that it can at times feel overwhelming, as though there exists an all-encompassing beast whose sole purpose is to consume our attention.

We already know that workplaces are largely detrimental to productivity but if we look a bit deeper we can see that even remote workers are not safe from constant distraction, death by a thousand messages.

With 320 billion emails exchanged each day and over 100 emails sent per person it is little wonder that research shows that workers are lucky if they are able to work at full productivity for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Add this to the constant ‘check-ins’ from managers and other Instant Messaging apps ‘pings’ and it is easy to see how almost one-third of our day can be taken up dealing with interruptions from technology.

We haven’t even factored in the time and effort required to jump across tools just to be able to stay connected to colleagues and access the information we need to do our job. Instead of us dictating our own work programme it is dictated to us.

So what we have are priorities being overhauled by interruptions and distractions, removing a level of control we require in order to be productive.

Message overload reduces productivity

What this often leads to are poor quality decisions which arise due to our gradual conditioning to respond to messages as quickly as possible – just so we can get back to the task at hand.

Rather than considering the question, filtering the information and contributing meaningfully to the conversation we instead provide nothing of any real substance. And this isn’t because we don’t want to help.

It’s because this is the 43rd time we’ve been interrupted in the past three hours and we want to get our work! It’s easy to see the significant factor digital overkill plays in rising employee stress levels

Where this takes us is right back to a reduction in the time we have to be productive – we see plenty of activity but little action.

And we haven’t even reached the issue of poorly designed interfaces whose lack of end-user consideration and overall complexity only serves to exacerbate frustration and stress.

So how do we solve these issues?

Centralizing work and communication in one productive platform

Instead of having to go to separate locations to find information and get work done, instead of accessing and mastering numerous apps, instead of numerous interruptions and multiple ‘check-ins’ why not bring everything employees need together in one place?

Bring tools and information together. Get on a smart platform that’s brings work, people, and information together in one place. Where decisions can be made, document versions updated, workflows completed and monitored, and communication connected to each piece of work.

Where projects can be started, tasks managed, information found in seconds, files shared, documents reviewed, and anyone can be messaged. All without leaving the platform. If this sounds too good to be true it’s not.

PIQNIC is a single-platform replacement for all your single-purpose apps.
