Read the new #RegionalProductivityAgenda - a guide to the productivity performance of the English regions and the three devolved nations, released during #NationalProductivityWeek. The Productivity Institute is funded by the @ESRC. eu1.hubs.ly/H0gtMKf0
Just as I’m heading to our event in #Wales as part of #NationalProductivityWeek , glad to see this podcast hitting the wire. Also good listening for those visiting our events in #Scotland and #NorthernIreland. But even if you don’t, definitely worth a listen. @TPIProductivity

Arbeidsproductiviteitsgroeiverhoging, daar schreef ik over voor NRC, vanuit een land dat met zijn economie worstelt. Hoe kunnen de Britten productiever worden? Ik sprak twee economen: nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/11/07/het…
Interesting discussion on background of the October 24 budget with @TPIProductivity Senior Policy Fellow @timleunig.
In which I get into the meat of the Budget with @timleunig and continue 20 year argument with @bbcnickrobinson over what matters most - economics or politics? bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0024f…

What does the budget mean for productivity? Some of the critical stepping stones are being laid but it will all depend on execution, says @bart_ark in his policy commentary. eu1.hubs.ly/H0dq4pC0
Another great @TPIProductivity and @instituteforgov on practical productivity lessons in public sector, this time on #productivity of #local #government, incl. data, childcare and 4-day week.

🕕Starting in 30 mins

ALT An IfG event titled 'Productivity Pitches #4: Local government'. The event is on Monday 21 October at 12.30-13.45. Speakers: Gill Wilson and Tim Pearse, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, on joining up previously disparate datasets to support residents who are in council tax arrears. Vicky Schofield and Cheryl Whitehouse, Wakefield Council children's services, on the council providing residential care and improving outcomes for care leavers. Cllr Bridget Smith, South Cambridgeshire Council, on the outcomes of shifting to a four-day working week.
@AndyWWestwood of @TPIProductivity reflections: 1) secure “permission” to innovate is key; 2) build capacity to innovate; 3) need to share best practices and diffusion. How to balance “banking” the savings vs. incentivising further productivity gains?
Great summary by @CLMannEcon of latest research at @TPIProductivity and @BoE_Research on finance, investment and productivity. Worth a read !
Read @CLMannEcon's insights from research at the @BoE_Research and The Productivity Institute looking at the relationships between finance and investment. The four papers were discussed at the @MMF_research Conference in September. @DMP_BoE productivity.ac.uk/news/fina…
