Team members generally adopt when they recognize the improved process and time savings the system creates.

The acclimation process includes tools for measuring process adoption and allows another team member to help these individuals log their activities.

These folks may not be currently fully and accurately reporting their activities in your current process (e.g., under reporting or resubmitting an old report every month).

Productivity Wave also has tools to assist your team in measuring activities reported by individuals prior and post implementation.

If these folks exist on your team, they are there today, you just may not see them.

If these individuals do exist, being aware of them helps you effectively manage your team by identifying issues, and providing training, mentoring, other development actions or business decisions to attain the required and desired performance levels.

Addressing identified or unidentified performance issues allows your team to address any issues before it becomes an issue with your customer.

High performing organizations will rapidly be able to adopt and produce metrics that support Award Fee assessments and CPARS rating justifications.

Organizations with some or pervasive performance issues have those issues today, and the issues may or may not be recognized or addressed.

Productivity Wave allows your to identify your performance levels and, if issues are identified, manage and improve performance before it becomes an issue with your company or customer.

If your organization used ISO, CMMI or other process framework, Productivity Wave aligns well with your defined and documented processes and artifacts.

There is a lot of variation in defined standards of performance with vague information in the contract, PWS/SOW/SLA, CDRLs or Quality Surveillance Support Plans.

The set-up process identifies all contractual artifacts that define standards and expectations of performance and ensures the measures implemented in the system meets or exceeds the defined standards.

If there are vague or nonexistent standards of performance in the contract the set up process allows companies to establish and negotiate activity specific standards with their customer ensuring fair and reasonable expectations on both sides moving forward. This activity also helps eliminate future disagreements about performance due to ill defined standards.

Productivity Wave can easily be implemented in a “crawl, walk, run” approach. The Prime contractor can take advantage of the reporting efficiencies and internally established measure performance (meeting customer standards) before incorporating the full performance metrics reporting to the end customer.

I am concerned that when my team’s performance is quantified and measured, it will not support the performance and quality levels asserted by my company or my contractor team.

Productivity Wave can easily be implemented in a “crawl, walk, run” approach.

The different adoption levels allow your company to monitor your team’s or contract’s level of performance internally during the implementation process.

This allows your team to verify the performance level before providing full performance metrics in customer reports.

The contractor team will realize the majority of the process efficiencies even at the “Crawl” implementation level.

This is a change in the way your employees have done MSR from years or decades.
Resolution: There are incentives for employee adoption.

High performing staff can run reports to identify their individual impact and performance level on assignments in support of assessments, salary discussion, bonuses and promotions.

Employees can use the system to meet multiple reporting requirements in minutes, from weekly task tracker reports to annual reports and are no longer required to produce individual monthly MSR inputs.

High performing organizations will rapidly be able to adopt and produce metrics that support Award Fee assessments and CPARS rating justifications.

Organizations with some or pervasive performance issues have those issues today, and the issues may or may not be recognized or addressed.

Your Contract Project Manager and project management staff preparing your reports today typically adopt the process rapidly, as this greatly simplifies their part of the process and they see some of the largest time savings.

Your detailed oriented staff already keep lists and logs and typically rapidly adopt and embrace the system.

Your average team member generally adopts quickly and responds well to the incentives to use the system and recognizes the process improvements and time savings.

I currently use and value the MSRs as much, or more, for corporate activities than just meeting the formal contract reporting requirement (ex., business development, proposal research and content, appraisals, etc.).

Productivity Wave was designed to directly meet contractual reporting requirements to the government and is tailored to directly support other internal corporate activities.

The process and activity information in the system directly supports the customer’s MSR requirement, but also greatly improves the ability to use the data for multiple other purposes (see: “What is Productivity Wave?” Primary Functions Supported).

Providing accounts to your business development staff and leadership enables them to easily access and view data within a single contract or across multiple contracts and search or filter the data in multiple ways (see: “How the Productivity Wave report differs from the typical MSR and other reports?” – Productivity Wave’s Custom Report Examples).

Shift the way your business development team researches and develops proposal and marketing content. If your business development team currently searches through multiple months and years of individual MSR files from multiple contracts, stop. Productivity Wave allows for rapid searching within and across multiple contracts and highlights the important information, greatly improving the search and discovery process while reducing the time required.
