Supporting productivity in public sector organisations to drive growth

As the key driver of economic growth, productivity is what leads to better living standards, higher wages, a more skilled workforce and greater wellbeing. Public sector organisations have an important role to play in enabling productivity growth. But how do we define and measure public sector productivity? What are the key levers that can be used to boost this, and are there lessons to learn from the private sector?

From practical guidance to thought leadership, we’ve put together a number of insightful resources which seek to address these questions and support the significant productivity potential of the public sector.

To address this, we partnered with The Productivity Institute to find practical ways to accelerate productivity and create a pathway to improve efficiency, opportunities and outcomes for all.
