Manoj KumarWith millennials now entering the corporate world, the workplace is set to undergo a radical transformation. The digital natives' unique way of thinking and approaching productivity is in stark contrast to how Gen X and Gen Y function. Letting go of the paper driven methods, the workforce is now embracing digital tools that empower them to become more efficient in the fast-paced workplace.Lack of time is no longer the entity to hamper productivity. From Mercedes-Benz's "In Car Office" that enables drivers to be more productive while on the road to simple smartphone applications like Evernote that save valuable minutes, the productivity tools market has grown by leaps and bounds. To better engage "The App Generation" and spur productivity, enterprises have a slew of modern tools at their disposal, led by Google and Microsoft's aggressive push to cloud-based office productivity tools. While the market is seeing an influx of smart and intuitive tools, businesses need to be wise in how they approach this new paradigm. Before embarking on an enterprise-wide deployment of a new tool, the C-suite needs to assess if the business productivity office systems already in place are being leveraged to the fullest.While it is easy to lose focus in a mad rush to turnaround business throughput by using the latest and greatest of technologies, productivity skills are equally important to kick a firm's efficacy into high gear. Without an effective workflow management and change management process--in conjunction with the relevant skills--to accommodate and leverage the new tools, the journey will barely be complete.At this crucial juncture, CIOReview presents its Productivity Special Edition, featuring insights from industry thought leaders and innovative solution providers with the expertise to ease CIOs' enterprise productivity pain points. We hope this edition will complement your journey to heightened efficiency. Let us know your thoughts.Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comThe Productivity Drive
