The Congress main theme is : “Productivity at the Crossroads: Creating a Socially, Economically and Environmentally Responsible World”. Including the 2008 global economic crisis the world is struggling with problems in many fields which brought it to a crossroads where in order to address the challenges facing the world and to build up social, economic and environmental responsibility in all areas, creating breakthrough levels of productivity improvement must be our starting point.

Congress Background

In October 2008, the National Productivity Centre of Turkiye (MPM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with World Confederation of Productivity Science (WCPS) and European Association of National Productivity Centres (EANPC) to host the 16^th World Productivity Congress and European Productivity Conference 2010 together in Turkiye. This is the first time these two prestigious events have been held together and it is appropriate that this should take place in Turkiye, which forms a bridge – geographically and culturally -between Asia and Europe. MPM is building on the experience of hosting a very successful 9^th World Productivity Congress in Istanbul in 1995.

The World Productivity Congress is a global focus for productivity improvement and development. The Congress is organized with the joint efforts of WCPS and the host member organization. It brings together academicians, business people, employers, managers and productivity experts from industry, trade and public services. A productivity declaration is presented at the end of each Congress.  This particular Congress is augmented and enhanced by the addition of the European Productivity Conference, a platform for European Productivity Centres to share their experiences and expertise. continued...
