The Pathways of Productivity Maturity Model

The Pathways to Productivity Maturity Model (PPMM) was created to break that cycle. It offers a clear, practical roadmap to help individuals and teams shift from chaos to clarity, from burnout to balance, and from performative productivity to genuine progress.

Through this human‑centred framework, you’ll learn to:

• Understand where you're at across key productivity areas
• Identify high-impact changes that make a real difference, without overhauling everything at once
• Build habits, systems, and mindsets that sustain both performance and wellbeing

PPMM isn’t about squeezing more into your day. It’s about doing what matters, better.

Whether you’re an individual seeking better focus or a leader wanting to lift team capability, PPMM complements your existing wellbeing, learning, and performance initiatives. It strengthens planning, focus, collaboration, and resilience, helping you create a workplace where people feel effective, valued, and in control.

Your journey starts here: a shift away from outdated work patterns, toward a way of working that delivers consistent, sustainable results, without burning out.

What To Expect

Before the Workshop

Prior to the session, participants complete the Pathways to Productivity Self-Assessment, a 10-minute reflection tool that highlights current strengths, challenges, and focus areas. A short meeting is then held with the team leader or manager to review key insights, understand team dynamics, and identify the three priority areas to be addressed during the workshop. This pre-work ensures the session is tailored to the team’s real-world needs and aligned with their goals.

During the Workshop

The workshop’s interactive format encourages open discussion, self-assessment review, and creative expression. Through the reflective art activity, participants translate insights into visual form which is an inclusive, non-threatening process that fosters deeper connection and shared understanding. This artistic element is thoughtfully woven into the group discussion, creating moments of calm reflection and collective inspiration.

Led by Sarah Richards, CPA, Executive MBA graduate, and Canberra Women in Business Indigenous Business Woman of the Year 2023, the half-day session guides participants to:

• Identify strengths and priorities through the PPMM framework
• Reflect creatively to spark new perspectives
• Co-design small, practical actions that support long-term change

After the Workshop

A 30-day follow-up reinforces outcomes, measures progress, and supports lasting growth. This helps individuals and teams strengthen clarity, confidence, and capability across all levels of their work.
