Abstract: | This paper explores how a professional service firm managed the paradoxical balance of creativity and productivity within its professional workforce. A conceptual framework integrating the concepts of creativity and productivity as components of professional competence is developed. Using this conceptual framework, the competency standards used by an Australian branch of a large international chartered accounting firm are studied, before and after a major firm restructure. The results show considerable changes in competency expectations following the reconstruction. |
