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…

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

@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?

One other takeaway: these changes are made possible by management working in the service of the people who are served AND do the work. Does that make productivity gains at local level easier? Are there lessons for central government to be learned to focus on frontline result?
