WPI Strategy have today published new economic analysis into the productivity potential of every local area in the country with the Building Back Britain Commission publishing its first report. The report finds that action to deliver just a 1% boost in productivity across 146 English local authorities that are currently ‘middling’ in productivity terms could deliver an extra £16 billion of additional economic value each year, or £82 billion over this Parliament. The Building Back Britain Commission is an independent group of businesses made up of Vodafone UK, London Gatwick, Haleon, Mastercard, Microsoft UK, Churchill Living Ltd, NHBC, Pennon Group Plc, Pension Insurance Corporation plc and British Land. Claire Ainsley, chair of the Commission and former Director of Policy to Keir Starmer: "The government’s primary mission for the UK to grow its economy in places right across the country is ambitious but possible. But we must tackle the biggest barrier to growth which is poor productivity. That means better targeting of existing public funds as well as creating a smarter and pro growth regulatory system that unlocks private investment."

We are witnessing a new era in the UK with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and a high frequency of elections around the globe. Reflecting on the past decade, we consider what growth means for ourselves, our communities, the UK, and the global economy. Last year, I had the privilege of speaking on stage alongside our now Prime Minister. I spoke about the Purpose Economy and Green Innovation, just before Sir Keir Starmer discussed Growth. The key themes that resonated with over 1,000 business, industry, and government leaders in the room were clear: - The 20th century was all about profit and the 21st century should be about purpose. We need to integrate purpose into every aspect of our work and move away from being solely profit-driven. - Communities must take control of their economic destiny. Growth should originate from the grassroots and provide secure, well-paid jobs across all areas. - The vibrancy and innovative spirit of UK businesses, especially those rooted in local communities, demonstrate our potential for progress. - The industries in which the UK excels are those that are growing the fastest and will continue to thrive over the next 10 to 20 years. Next Tuesday, I invite the business community to join together to explore transitioning to 21st-century business models. Our goal is to lead with impact and purpose, driving commercial returns while doing good in the world. #GrowthOnPurpose Join us to build your brand, grow your business, influence your industry, and help shift the world. One Earth with One Billion Purposes.

NEW report, out today! Our first big output from the Reimagining the Local State programme is now live. We explore the elements needed for a successful 'devolution revolution', and local systems equipped to succeed with powers at every scale. From levelling up to the ‘devolution revolution’, there is growing recognition that England is drastically overcentralised. Attempts are continuing to correct this, with devolution deals being offered to Combined Authorities at a more strategic, regional scale.   But this approach will not, in itself, be enough. For real regional governance, a far broader sweep of powers should be available to be devolved to combined authorities and the GLA by default. This would mean a deep effort to build the maturity and capacity of this emerging institutional scale.  Kick-starting stronger regionalism is a necessary, but not a sufficient, solution for the challenges faced in England. Indeed, without specific efforts, there is a risk that this new ‘layer’ will reinforce a top-heavy system that continues to marginalise the very communities it aims to empower.  There is also significant need, then, for local and hyper-local governance in England, with clear responsibilities and ways to effectively propose the drawing-down of powers from higher tiers when appropriate. For now, this smaller scale of local government is all but overlooked by the policy world.  At hyper-local scales, the state can operate very differently, fostering deep neighbourhood resilience and facilitating the activities and self-governance of communities themselves.  For devolution to work, all of these layers must be aligned, and each playing to its distinct strengths within the larger local system.  What powers where? Achieving the ‘devolution revolution’, kindly sponsored by Power to Change, is the first major policy report in Reform’s Reimagining the Local State programme. It sets out design principles for local systems, recommendations for whole regional systems to work together and distribute powers at every scale. It also sets out the notional distribution of powers for a much more devolved system.  'What powers where? Achieving the 'devolution revolution', from Simon Kaye, India Woodward, and Giorgia Vittorino, is available to download now! https://lnkd.in/e4w5qy3A
