In 1910, he directed the works which led to the freezing of the soil for a length of approx. 70 yards with 57 17m deep shafts filled with brine of calcium chloride at -27\u00b0C. Imagine doing that in 2015? In 2015, the extension of line 4 for 1 extra station beyond the peripherique was finally completed after 4 years of disruption.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>An impact on overall productivity?<\/h3>\n<p>The crux of the problem is this: does technological innovation have an impact on overall productivity? Apparently it doesn\u2019t (\u201cproductivity\u00a0grew just 0.4% per year over the past five years, one of the slowest stretches in the period since World War II&#8221; says IP). Many things, beyond the Smartphone, have not changed that much. In the past 30 or 40 years. Indeed, according to Greg IP, there are three possible reasons for this:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>pessimistic assumption<\/strong>: innovation is happening and is grossly exaggerated. It has no, or not much impact,<\/li>\n<li><strong>optimistic assumption<\/strong>: it does have an impact but it can be measured,<\/li>\n<li><strong>neutral<\/strong> (neither optimistic nor pessimistic) <strong>assumption<\/strong>: it is happening but has no impact on the &#8220;real&#8221; world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Explanations for the low impact of digital on productivity gains?<\/h2>\n<p>IP opts for solution number three and has an explanation for this (based on the work of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.progressivepolicy.org\/people\/staff\/michael-mandel\/\">Michael Mandel for the progressive Institute<\/a>):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>advances in applied sciences<\/strong> (like thermoplastics and maybe new alloys and metals) <strong>have stalled<\/strong>. All the new products which the 1950-1960 golden era of chemistry has produced are now ubiquitous. Innovation is only marginal. Biosciences aren&#8217;t working \u2013 this is IP speaking \u2013 or rather are unable to produce such breakthroughs as the invention of antibiotics. A rather negative statement, yet many of my discussions with my scientific-trained wife end up in the same alley: there are few advances in those departments nowadays, or at least they tend to be less spectacular,<\/li>\n<li><strong>productivity gains are far less impressive<\/strong> \u2013 still Greg IP speaking \u2013 than ever before. Planes carry more people but there aren\u2019t very different from what they used to be in the late 1950s. With the loss of the Concorde, one may even find that speed has decreased. One of the reasons for this may be that our Society is less focused on innovation, and technological prowess, and more prone to raise issues about safety. Both subjects aren&#8217;t that compatible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As our workforces (in Western countries at least) are moving rapidly away from manufacturing and focusing massively on service and knowledge work (I\u2019ll get back to that when I analyse the latest McKinsey report), I would however disagree with IP&#8217;s point about productivity gains. Even though it\u2019s hard to measure. I know for sure how I can assess the impact of new technologies on the kind of work that I, and our consultants at Visionary Marketing, are doing.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us are able to manage or even deliver, single-handedly, up to 10 different engagements at the same time. That would not have been possible even 10 years ago. Maybe the maximum of projects I could have managed up until the end of the 1990s was 2 or 3 (I mean large ones). The increase in productivity in that department, really is spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, it is hard to measure with hard facts and figures. It took years before car manufacturing was taken into account in the calculation of GNP according to French economist Daniel Cohen, it may well then take another 10-20 years before IT and digital are actually accounted for in productivity gains when economists decide to measure them.<\/p>\n<p>All I know however is that the current impact of digital on most industries is still weak and changes are taking place very slowly. It may not look like that to many professionals who are already struggling with the idea of making digital technology and ally in their daily tasks, but if anything, the pace of change is bound to accelerate; not slow down. That&#8217;s how I see and interpret Mandel\u2019s study: productivity gains due to digital may be low at the moment, but chances are that, for that very reason, the implementation of digital change in organisations will tend to intensify in the future. Be ready for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is customary to say that we are living very innovative times, that the changes we are going through are huge, \u00a0that our economy is fast-paced and innovative and\u00a0that the impact of digital on the overall economy is portentous.
