Our brief

State sector productivity

The Government asked the Commission to provide guidance and recommendations on measuring and improving productivity in public services, especially education, health, justice and social services. Read our brief.

The Commission interviewed multiple current and former senior state sector leaders, carried out case studies to demonstrate how to measure productivity in public services, and commissioned research to better understand how innovation (which is the engine of productivity improvement) occurs and spreads in public services.
