Productivity in public services has never been more important. Most services are struggling to return to pre-pandemic performance levels, and the new Labour government has indicated that spending will remain tight. Improvements in performance will likely come from frontline workers finding new, innovative ways of delivering services.    So what can be done to improve productivity? By highlighting outstanding examples of innovation across public services, Productivity Pitches, a series of events hosted by the IfG, aims to share and support ways to improve performance levels.   This event was the sixth in the series and focused on central government.   Each speaker had 10 minutes to present their innovation, followed by 10 minutes of audience questions. The chair and a guest from The Productivity Institute – which is kindly supporting this event series – brought together the common themes from the pitches and discussed the lessons for improving productivity.   The speakers for this edition of Productivity Pitches were:    Brice Dassy and Dominic Lague on how the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) has recently started using the Cabinet Office-developed Government Reporting Integration Platform (GRIP) to simplify and speed up the data collection and sharing process for major projects, providing ministers with more timely and relevant information than under the previous system. Neil Lloyd on The National Underground Asset Register (NUAR), the first centralised record of all assets that are buried under the ground. When fully implemented, the NUAR will save a range of government agencies time and money when carrying out vital road works and other construction projects. Freya Pinks and Laurie Thraves on the launch of The National Situation Centre (SitCen), which was established to collate up to date data and information in one place. Their dashboards allow policy makers to assess risk and respond quickly in the case of a national emergency or crisis. (This presentation is not included in the recording above) The event was chaired by Emma Norris, Deputy Director at the Institute for Government. Institute for Government.

How can we improve productivity by prioritizing deep work?  Helping others harness productivity while using their natural strengths has been a big focus for me over the years — it's what led me to create The Strengths Journal™. When thinking about the theme of self-development in the area of productivity, I'm inspired by Cal Newport's book, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. Newport defines deep work as “the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task.” In our distraction-heavy digital age, Newport emphasizes the importance of creating space for deep concentration. His book highlights the impact of focused work on both productivity and quality output.   To find out more about my work, please visit Dana Williams Consulting. LinkedIn.

It's no secret that women in our society are on the go all the time - whether it's because we're working, transporting the kids to countless activities, taking care of the house, or doing countless other activities on our calendar.The pressure to be productive has caused us to pursue hamster wheel lifestyles with little rest.On top of it all, we're often told that if we want the best health or fitness, we should cut calories, do HIIT workouts, and try intermittent fasting (spoiler alert: these practices are based on research done on men, not women, and can be harmful to women's hormonal health).But how does busyness and fitness affect our hormonal health? And how do our hormones change our mental health?In this episode, Jordan talks with hormone expert Alisa Vitti about the connection between our cycles, hormones, nutrition, fitness, and mental health.Tune in to this episode to learn:How the pressure to do it all and our busy schedules affect our hormonal healthThe importance of understanding that women are underrepresented in biological researchWhy popular biohacking strategies, workout programs, and diets aren't the best option for womenThe way caffeine affects our hormones and what to do if we're reliant on caffeineHow the knowledge that our hormones are cyclical should affect how we prioritize our tasksThe link between mental health and hormones and what practical things can we do to improve our mental healthWant to dig deeper into this topic?
