Unlock hidden productivity. Accelerate execution. Create value.

Small and medium-sized enterprises are under increasing pressure to deliver results. Strategies are defined, initiatives are launched – yet valuable time and energy are lost along the way. The root cause is often not a lack of commitment, but hidden productivity loss: too many parallel projects, constant context switching, and excessive coordination slow organizations down.

This is where Productivity Mining comes in.

Productivity Mining is a pragmatic approach to uncovering and unlocking hidden productivity within project portfolios. Instead of introducing complex frameworks or tools, it focuses on eliminating project overload – one of the main causes of execution inefficiency. Even simple transparency across initiatives and needed capacities helps sharpen priorities, bring projects into flow, and significantly reduce escalations.

Why is Productivity Mining especially relevant for SMEs?

Because SMEs must achieve maximum impact with limited resources. Research shows that project overload and continuous task switching can consume 30% or more of productive time. Productivity Mining directly addresses this challenge – often delivering visible results in a short period of time: fewer parallel projects, reduced management effort, and faster execution. In the mid-term, these improvements translate into measurable financial impact.

Save the Date – Experience Productivity Mining in practice

On 26 March 2026 in Munich, the PMI Germany Chapter will explore these topics at the event 
“Strengthening SMEs. Accelerating Transformation. Securing Competitiveness.”

A key focus will be on how to calculate the concrete benefits of Productivity Mining and when organizations can realistically expect measurable results. Practical, transparent, and tailored to the needs of SME owners and managing directors.
