Conclusion to the theses and my experience in the Corona period on productivity

According to Sven Laumer, creative work requires emotional trust, which can only be created through offline contact. Emotional trust is shown in mutual interest/care for the other person. This can also promote innovation.

Here, Sven Laumer shows a study by Harvard that since Corona, our communication with strong contacts (those we know) has increased by 40% and with weak contacts (relatively unknown colleagues) has decreased sharply. So we were out and about in our usual networks. Here, Sven Laumer warns that innovations come more from weak relationships - spontaneous contacts and meetings with experts from different fields tend to bring about innovations rather than the familiar environment.


So what happened in times of Corona at companies that massively increased insurance email list productivity? I noticed that especially well-coordinated teams worked very focused on more standardized tasks.

The teams knew each other beforehand, there were clear tasks and it was fairly homogeneous. Now we have to be honest and say that the majority of work in companies is actually standard and also brings the highest added value. Creative work takes up around 30% of working time.

So well-coordinated teams worked on well-coordinated tasks and new employees were hired to match the team structures (homogeneously). This meant that productivity was high. Sven Laumer also shows in his study that innovation suffered massively during Corona. He also suspects that well-coordinated teams worked together. This fact meant there was a high focus on standard business, which massively increased throughput and sales.
