Productivity Nightmares
By Brick | April 28, 2008
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.
