Breakfast Briefing: The Great British Productivity Puzzle

This event has ended.

According to the Financial Times “Britain’s productivity crisis should be keeping the country’s politicians and civil servants awake at night”. Our productivity slowdown is the worst of all Western countries, and Wales in particular has performed poorly for some time - our most productive companies have ‘lost their momentum’ and low skilled work is all too prevalent.

In this Breakfast Briefing, Professor Andrew Henley, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Economics at Cardiff Business School, will share some of the work of the ESRC funded Productivity Insights Network of which we are part along with six other leading universities led by the University of Sheffield. He will be joined by Katherine Kent, Head of Productivity Statistics at the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Allan Meek, Director of SCS Group and Cardiff Business School Entrepreneur-in-Residence. Together they will explore the different dimensions of the UK Productivity problem and then they will begin to suggest what we can collectively do about it.

We are delighted to invite you and a colleague to our next Cardiff Breakfast Briefing at our Executive Education suite at Cardiff Business School, Postgraduate Teaching Centre, Colum Drive, Cardiff, CF10 3EU.

This event is part of the Business School’s Breakfast Briefing series, a network that enables our business contacts to find out more about the latest research and key developments from our industrial partners.

We do hope you will be able to join us for a stimulating talk and networking over a croissant and coffee.
