BRYCE DAILY PRODUCTIVITY ANALYZER A free service provided by M&JB Investment Company (M&JB) (formerly M. Bryce & Associates - MBA) Palm Harbor, Florida, USA Since 1971: "Software for the finest Computer - the Mind"

Our paper of August 21, 2006, "How Effective Were You Today?", was very popular. Basically, it questioned how productivity is measured in today's corporate culture. The feedback was so overwhelmingly popular that we are making our "MBA Daily Productivity Analyzer" available here. This is a simple calculator aimed at reinforcing the concept that there is more to productivity than just efficiency. To read the paper, either see it as posted in the ITtoolbox or download it as a PDF File. Tim Bryce, the Managing Director of MBA and author of the paper, is available to lecture on this subject. For information, Mr. Bryce can be contacted at timb001@phmainstreet.com The following analyzer works under MS Internet Explorer only. However, if desired, you can obtain a copy of the analyzer as an MS Excel file or as a Lotus 123 file.
