Productivity
Institute

The Productivity Institute is UK-wide research organisation exploring what productivity means for business, for workers and for communities. The institute is headquartered at the University of Manchester, and is partnered with eight of the UK's leading universities: Cardiff University, University of Cambridge, King’s College London, University of Warwick, University of Manchester, University of Sheffield, University of Glasgow and Queen’s University Belfast.

London and the South Forum

The London and the South Forum is led by the King’s College London. It is involved in the implementation of research insights, the design of practical business and policy interventions, and in providing input to the development of the Institute’s future research agenda.

The Productivity Agenda

The Productivity Agenda is a blueprint for boosting the UK’s productivity. With 10 chapters written by experts on productivity, it highlights key areas of policy for leaders to focus on so the public, private and civic sectors can be better equipped to translate productivity gains into improved living standards and well-being across the UK.

Authors from King's College London include Professor Mary O’Mahony and Professor Damian Grimshaw.
