The Think Factory Managing Today's Most Precious Resource People - Microsoft Executive Circle
Author: Susan D. Conway

Praise for The Think Factory: Managing Today's Most precious Resource, People! "In order to confidently invest in technology-driven process improvements, business leaders need to be able to measure IT productivity improvement in repeatable, understandable numbers. The Think Factory describes a measurement framework that gives us, finally, the... more » opportunity to validate productivity claims, and as such, is sure to become an integral cog in the ongoing contribution of IT for business effectiveness."

—Charles House Director, Societal Impact of Technology, Intel Corporation "The methodology outlined in The Think Factory is one of the premier approaches today's global manager can use to extend productivity improvement across the sales organization...The Productivity Impact Framework, as described in The Think Factory, has been highly effective across diverse partner organizations and cultures and should be one of the core tools in every manager's productivity toolbox."

—Mike Steep Director, Field Engagements and Operations, Microsoft Corporation "The Think Factory concepts applied at Korean Air were very helpful for our study of employee productivity enhancements as well as the design of [the new] groupware system migration. I believe this approach will enhance Korean Air's program to be among the best in its class and further our integration into a people-ready business."

—Sang Man Lee Vice President and CIO, Korean Air "The Think Factory provides readers with unique methodology designed to improve performance. Through the Productivity Impact Framework and applied tools, companies have successfully measured technology and its impact on productivity. There have been many books written that try to address the growing crisis in information work, and The Think Factory is one of the few that I have read that successfully addresses the issue. I highly recommend this book to any corporate leader seeking to find ways to solve this challenge."

—Steve A. Stone, CEO, Infoflows Corporation "The intangibility and diversity of information work and its output presents unique challenges in its definition and measurement. The Think Factory provides a road map to map, measure, and manage information work; a key requirement to better understand the productivity impact of knowledge work in the information age."

—Vish Krishnan, University of California, San Diego, Professor of Innovation, Technology, and Operations, Rady School of Management

—Indranil Bardhan, The University of Texas at Dallas, Assistant Professor of Accounting and Information Management in the School of Management
