Report
on the XIVth World Productivity Congress
Shenyang China
October 8th - 11th 2006
The
XIVth Congress was a huge success. Over 1,000 delegates from
more than 40 countries came to Shenyang, China to hear about
the latest developments in productivity science.
The
theme of the Congress, Pursuing Scientifc and Sustainable
Growth in Productivity & Performance, was certainly brought
out in the presentations which ranged across economic productivity,
through national and regional productivity infrastructures
to organisational productivity and finally onto personal performance
and development.
The
Vice-Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic
of China, Zeng Peiyan, gave the opening keynote speech and
set the tone by talking avout harmonious development and by
raising some of the challenges that China, and other nations,
have to face as they attempt to balance the aspirations and
desires of their citizens with the requirements of nature.
The
city of Shenyang provided an appropriate location as a city
in transformation - from a centre of heavy industry to one
of lighter, more flexible manufacturing facilities.
