Calculates the Financial Impact of Politics, Silos, and other Bad Behavior within Companies

Feb. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Baltimore, MD – February 24, 2011 – A new way to measure and quantify the cost of “bad behavior” in corporations has been launched to help company leaders improve productivity.

The Corporate Waste Index (CWI) is the creation of leading business consultant Umar Hameed, founder of Productivity Cubed.  It is a way to calculate the cost of Politics, Silos, and other Bad Behavior within companies and non-profits. more info at http://www.productivitycubed.com/bad-behavior-kills-profits-2


“The difference between good and great results is the people in a company. How well employees work together has a large impact on the performance of the organization,” says Hameed.  “Unfortunately, silos, politics, complacency, and finger pointing are way more common than commitment, trust, and a go-getter attitude.  Leaders know that corporate cultures where bad behaviors abound cost the organization dearly.  Bad behaviors kill morale, destroy teamwork, and increase staff turnover.  According to Gallup it costs American Business $350B wasted profit potential.  

It’s always been hard to measure how much bad behavior really costs an organization.  If you can’t measure it somehow it’s not real.  The Corporate Waste Index gives leaders a hard number, “We are wasting $1M /yr.”  This makes the problem real and creates an urgency to fix it.

As companies continue to struggle through these uncertain economic times, understanding the financial impact of bad behavior is the first step towards improving the situation – and the organization’s bottom line.

Hameed invite corporate leaders to visit his site and take the CWI for free.  Productivity Cubed in on the internet at: http://www.productivitycubed.com
