Activity

Activity describes how much operating efficiency of a sector was used. As a rule this efficiency, which cannot be directly observed, is measured with the help of reference values. Provided that a unit of product is chosen as a reference value, the activity is the manufactured quantity of the product (in liters, items, reservations or similar). There is a difference between a plan and an actual activity. The capacity indicates the maximal possible operating efficiency. Relating the actual activity to a comparative activity (planned activity, capacity) is the reason of an activity.

Starting A Slow Story Movement

"It is said that we become the stories that we tell among ourselves. This might have been true before we became salespersons. For a few decades now, I think we have become numb to the stories that we tell among ourselves. So stories have become shorter and crisper to the length of a tweet. We are so committed to telling a story to the point that finally what remains is a dimensionless point.
