But it’s more than a stressful job, it’s also a great lesson in business
management, productivity, and borderless workspaces. 

Here are ve lessons we’ve picked up from watching the pits.

Know your role.

02/07/2020 Fuji Xerox | What can you learn about productivity from a 2-second job?

For starters, and this is essential, everyone in a team has to know their
role. Whether you work in a time-critical pit crew, an aspiring start-up or an
established family business, staying on task is vital. 

The lack of a speci c role can lead to time wasted and issues over job
scope and expectations. 

Respect the process.

As the world moves towards a more mobile workforce, it’s key that
everyone knows their part in the process. Duplication of work and a lack of
process clarity not only wastes time but can lead to confusion, errors and
costly mistakes.

Do the right thing at the right time.

When your entire job lasts only 2 seconds, timing is critical. But timely
productivity is just as vital in jobs that take weeks, months or even years to
complete. The future of open workspaces and exible work hours makes
this even more obvious. 

Without face to face communication, streamlined work ow management,

monitoring tasks, and collaboration are the best ways to increase the
productivity of your employees. 

Preparation over perfection.

Life is unpredictable. The business world even more so. To succeed you
have to be ready for anything. For a two-second pit stop, the average F1
Crew has logged 100,000 hours of practice. 
For today’s mobile business being able to store, organize and retrieve data
and information it has to be done in seconds.

Prepare for change.

In the 1950s, the average pit stop took more than 75 seconds. It’s now 36
times faster. Understanding that things change and become faster, easier
and more automated opens your mindset to greater possibilities.

It also opens your company to greater growth and productivity.

Cloud-based solutions are a good example of this. Ten years ago clouds
were something we sang about. Today the cloud is offering time and cost-
saving solutions that are a huge advantage for small to medium-sized
companies.

From soft skills to speedy solutions.

So far, we’ve mainly viewed agility and mobility from a human perspective.
But what about the technology that facilitates it? 

Just like in F1, technology and tech-driven solutions have radically

changed the speed of doing business. And while you may not think so to
look at one, today’s o ce printer is now the super engine of today’s mobile
and agile company. 

The right printer can open up huge opportunities for connection,

collaboration, and increased productivity. This ranges from predictive
analytics to maximizing work ows, customized user settings, high-end
data security and tools for collaboration and mobility. 

The printer is no longer an IT guys headache, but the nerve centre of your
company. 

And just like a race car, the right printer comes with highly responsive
service teams, mobile support and predictive analytics that troubleshoot
possible issues long before they become problems.

But unlike a race car, the right printer is priced to save you money. A lower
cost of operation, scalable functionality, predictive analytics and cost
management solutions mean fewer problems and improved cost control. 

Taking a look under the hood, or should we say printer cover, you’ll bene t
from 360-degree data security that lets you track and manage your data
and access at all times. The exibility to scale up as your business grows.
Remote solutions that mean you are never out of access. 

Add to that end-to-end work ow automated solutions, cloud integration,

analytics which can be turned into business intelligence, and your printer is
starting to look more and more like one of those high powered race
machines. 

Move into the o ce fast lane with freedom from slowdowns and
interruptions. 

Move with mobility, agility, precision and control.

Move toward increased productivity everywhere.

Move ahead with Fuji Xerox.
