PODCAST SERIES
Productivity is one of the most significant challenges facing businesses of all sizes and across industries, as well as the public sector. In Productivity Reimagined we explore what productivity really means, why it matters to our economy and how it can be improved in practice. We take a closer look at the fundamentals of productivity, consider the role of skills, investment and innovation and discuss the strategies and tool kits that can help raise performance and create productivity growth.
Episode One:
Productivity Starts with People
Attempts to tackle productivity challenges in manufacturing usually focus on automation, advanced machinery and digital transformation. This inaugural episode of Productivity Reimagined considers the people behind the process. Host Gemma Casey is joined by Jacqui Murray of HVM Catapult, Philip Roberts of Probe and POET Systems and Professor Paul Byard of University of South Wales to discuss why visibility, engagement and shared ownership of performance data may be the missing link in our national productivity puzzle.
