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: https://t.co/AfUgudgUdo

[Bart van Ark @bart_ark]

Interesting discussion on background of the October 24 budget with @TPIProductivity Senior Policy Fellow @timleunig.

[Stephanie Flanders @MyStephanomics]

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? https://t.co/g2hD8BhKid

[The Productivity Institute @TPIProductivity]

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. https://t.co/h13OuH7LYh

[Bart van Ark @bart_ark]

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?

[Bart van Ark @bart_ark]

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.

A short 🧵 on what we heard. (Full recording on IfG website).

@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?
