Anyone who has followed this blog from the beginning will know that my wife and I are big fans of cooking, and the Food Network on television. One show that I particularly enjoy is Kitchen Nightmares. The show features acclaimed chef Gordon Ramsay:

In each episode, Ramsay visits a failing restaurant and acts as a troubleshooter to help improve the establishment in just one week. Ramsay revisits the restaurant a few months later to see how business has fared in his absence.

I would like to see someone produce a show called Productivity Nightmares. The synopsis for the show would be as follows: In each episode, productivity guru <insert famous guru’s name here> visits a failing business to make a dramatic impact in productivity and effectiveness in just one week. <insert famous guru’s name here> revisits the business a few months later to see how it has faired in his/her absence.

You could do shows about disorganized and non-productive homes as well as businesses. I think a guru that is brutally frank and not afraid of a little confrontation (like Gordon Ramsay) would work really well. Unlike the restaurant business, we would probably all be able to relate to the various shows in some way.

    That, my friend, is an excellent idea.
