I just started a contract at a major bank, and have found an area (Dev tooling nothing bank related!) that was missing obvious parts and dove in.

I think productivity is partly good people, good open systems and partly leaving folks to get on and find the biggest pain points whilst not stuffing architecture up.

I think this works for non devs too and has next to nothing to do with productivity tools. I could have been using notepad and a shell and would have done as much useful work.
