Institute of Directors (IoD)’s Post

Jeremy Hunt is a braver man than I, agreeing to be grilled by Robert Peston and for #TheRestIsMoney podcast the other week (… although I’m up for the challenge, Robert!). But the topic was an urgent one: #productivity. 📉 The most recent data from the Office for National Statistics found that the UK is a third less #productive than the US and a fifth less productive than France. This supports Be the Business' own findings from last year, which revealed that the UK is the finds itself second from bottom of the #G7 productivity table, just ahead of Japan but miles behind the US at the top of the table.  The reason? The Chancellor told Robert that the problem lies in the higher levels of business #investment especially in Germany.  🤔 But I’m not sure that gets under the skin of what’s really happening… Much like the New Year #resolutions that we make with the best of intentions (data shows that almost half of us will have given up by the end of January!), there’s a big gap between what we say we’re going to do and what we then get round to. And the same is true when it comes to UK #businesses. At Be the Business, we call this the Confidence-Action Gap, which you can read more about in our G7 Productive Business Index below 👇 Food for thought the next time the Chancellor is posed with a #productivity question...

Navigating the Tide of Change: Preparing Your Business for a Potential #LabourGovernment The #LabourParty has fought tirelessly and shown incredible resilience on their journey towards possibly leading the UK. They’ve pushed through challenges, debated fiercely, and stayed strong in the face of shifting public opinion. Businesses need that same #resilience as they prepare for a new government. Challenges Businesses Face: - New Regulations: Possible changes in labour laws, environmental policies, and taxes. - Economic Shifts: New fiscal policies could change #market conditions and #investment opportunities. - Increased Costs: Adapting to new laws could mean spending more on compliance and adjustments. Impacts on Business: - Day-to-day operations could be disrupted. - #Budgetchanges - Market dynamics could shift, affecting profits. How to Prepare: -Get Expert Advice: Talk to policy experts to stay informed about potential changes. Knowledge is power! - Update Continuity Plans: Make sure your plans are ready for smooth business operations, no matter what. Better to be safe than sorry! - #LeadershipResilience Training: Train your leaders to handle change effectively. Strong leaders turn challenges into opportunities. Like the Labour Party has shown, resilience isn't just about surviving tough times; it's about being ready and seeing challenges as chances to grow. #StrategicPlanning #BusinessAgility #BusinessReadiness #Leadership #ChangeManagement #labour #resilience image credit: The BBC
