Productivity is hard to measure and its drivers are numerous and strongly interrelated. The Productivity Institute’s Productivity Lab has developed a scorecard series, which is comprised of five main regional productivity drivers that need to be analysed:
These five regional productivity drivers are captured using 17 indicators and their past performance is analysed in the short-term (one year) and long-term (five years) to help develop regional strategic initiatives and objectives.
The Scorecards cover the 12 ITL-1 level regions in the UK, encompassing all the regions of England and the devolved nations. They are free to download and use subject to citations:
There is also an overview of all the ITL1 regions, along with an annex.
The scorecards have now also been converted into maps for each productivity driver, which provide a snapshot of how each region and devolved nation has fared. The maps offer a clear visualisation of the regional aspects of many of these drivers. They are free to download and use subject to citations:
To find out more, read the Productivity Lab’s blog on the scorecards, which goes into detail about how best to use the indicators.
