Productivity Matters is a one-day, hybrid, practical, cross-sector conference for all SMEs, social enterprises, charities, and public sector organisations in Scotland.

Attendees will leave inspired and with practical tools, real examples, and fresh ideas to help them work smarter in their organisations. We will help turn productivity from what for some might be a vague concept into meaningful principles and actions that all organisations can embed in their operations to create tangible benefits whether increased efficiency, sustainability, output or staff wellbeing.

Inspired and informed by research from The Productivity Institute, we will explore how five interconnected drivers - marketing and communication, innovation and digital adoption, leadership and management, access to finance, and worker skills and wellbeing - can be harnessed for business success. 

The event will be delivered in partnership with the Edinburgh Napier University,  The Productivity Institute Scotland Forum and the University of Glasgow.
