During the Congress, a ceremony was held to create a number of new Fellows of the World Academy of Productivity Science. These are individuals recognised for their achievements in productivty science - as theorists, as educators, or as leaders.

It is a tradition of the World Productivity Congress that a 'declaration' is made at the end of the Congress which summarises the feeling of the event and charges those present with future action.

The Shenyang Declaration is available in both English and Chinese.

The World Confederation of Productivity Science wishes to thank their Chinese partners - the Chinese Association of Productivty Science (CAPS), and the city of Shenyang for their remarkable effort and commitment in bringing this Congress to fruition and making it such an outstanding success.

Of course, success brings more action - to ensure the next World Congress - planned for 2008 - is at least as good, if not better. Planning is in progress and we will bring you news on this website.
