World Productivity Congress European Productivity Conference
Antalya, Türkiye, 2010
Declaration
We the members of the global productivity community who have gathered
in Antalya, Türkiye from 2nd – 5th November, 2010 have been informed and inspired
by three days of discussion, debate and deliberation on the Congress theme of
“Productivity at the Crossroads:
Creating a Socially, Economically and Environmentally Responsible World”.
This theme echoed the position of Türkiye as being at the crossroads
between Europe and Asia, well – placed to communicate and to translate across economic,
social and cultural divides that should not – but often do-exist.
The event was also set in the context of a world emerging from a
global financial crisis making productivity development even more important as a
means of stabilizing and enhancing productive capacity.
We welcome the National Productivity Organization of Pakistan as
the newest member of the global productivity family and we will continue to expand
this family so that our collective knowledge and influence helps shape a more productive
future for a wider range of global citizens.
As a result of our individual and collective activity, we, the members
of the global productivity community, affirm that:
1. Only improved productivity can address emerging problems relating
to the sustainable supplies of
energy, food and water
2. Productivity development is a simple concept but a complex process
involving a number of inter-
relating and overlapping domains and disciplines
3. We need to secure a common understanding among the individuals
and
groups operating within
and across those domains and disciplines
4. We will individually and collectively continue our efforts to bring about that common
understanding
5. We will find new ways to disseminate the results and outcomes of those efforts.
6. We will carry the messages relating to Türkiye’s productivity
and economic development to the
world.
In so doing, we-the members of the global productivity family-can
help bring about the conditions under which we can meet the growing aspirations
of all the citizens of the globally –connected world.
We agree to meet again in Toronto, Canada in 2012 to pursue our mission
of making the world more productive.
