Gaining Productivity

Not only while cruising on a sunny breezy highway in a balmy day but also trudging on a wet windy winding road, productivity awareness helps one navigate through a sudden twist in the howling wind, a blinding thunderous driving rain and a screaming cliff lurking around a treacherous bend. Jamal Khan and Wayne Soverall pull no punches in this probing work when they question the desiccated myth of immeasurability of public sector productivity. The authors mount a sustained and impressive attack on uninformed and cynical blather about productivity, narrow technicism, and shallow instrumentality. The headlong momentum of their discourse, propelled by narratives, graphics, data, evidence and analyses, jumps and hums with a bracing vitality.
