Productivity opportunities

06 January 2011

Improving productivity in the main business areas, accounting for 95 per cent of council business, is central to helping councils meet the challenges of less funding. The LGID with RIEP support has produced a library of 'productivity opportunities'  which offers a wealth of ideas.

Many of them are not new in themselves. What is new is packaging them alongside each other to challenge how far councils are going in their pursuit and demonstration of productivity in their localities.

These 'opportunities', arranged by the following five categories, demonstrate the sector collectively driving its own productivity.

  • Adults and health
  • Children's services
  • Corporate
  • Environment and culture
  • Housing and economy
