Are we entering a new world of personal productivity? | Microsoft Delve explained

Labour productivity is a measure that rolls up from personal and organisation metrics up to country level.  The UK, when compared with other G7 countries hasn’t been doing so well for many years (UK is currently 16% below the others).   The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) bulletin on UK productivity highlights that “UK labour productivity, as measured by output per hour, is estimated to have fallen by 0.5% from Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2016 to Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2017; over a longer time-period, labour productivity growth has been lower on average than prior to the economic downturn.”  Can modern tools such as Microsoft Delve with Office 365 help?

In a recent study “Productivity in the UK” by Capita Workforce Management Solutions, they found that two-thirds of staff waste at least an hour a day at work and just a third of managers feel that their business is very productive.
