Addressing Productivity A Cross Sector Perspective with Gemma Peck, Director, Business Growth, BEIS

Following the pandemic, the government has made the development of a high wage, high skill economy a central ambition. To achieve this, addressing the UK’s productivity gap will be critical. Part of that focus will be working with the supply chain and SMEs to help address challenges around productivity. In this special session we will hear how BEIS, CMI and Aston are seeking to work across the sectors to support large FTSE companies work with their supply chains to address productivity, and how the government is supporting this drive. By joining us, you will:

• Hear more about what can be done to support SMEs and supply chains in enhancing productivity
• Discover what BEIS is doing to support the productivity drive with the Help to Grow scheme  
• Learn where further collaboration across the public, private and not for profit sectors will prove vital in the drive to address the long tail of productivity
