DESCRIPTION:A Practical Workshop for Third and Public Sector Leaders.\n\n
 As part of National Productivity Week 2026 join us at Alliance Mancheste
 r Business School for a workshop designed specifically for leaders in th
 e third and public sectors.\n\nProductivity is often viewed as a private
 -sector concern\, yet it hugely matters for public and third sector orga
 nisations facing tight budgets\, rising demand and increasing accountabi
 lity.\n\nToo often framed as simply “doing more with less”\, this worksh
 op reframes it as the optimal use of resources to achieve better outcome
 s for people\, organisations and places.\n\nLed by Bart van Ark\, Managi
 ng Director of The Productivity Institute\, and executive education lead
 er Claire-Marie Boggiano\, the workshop offers a practical introduction 
 to a strategic\, outcomes-focused approach. It is aimed at leaders seeki
 ng actionable insights to strengthen organisational performance\, impact
  and resilience.\n\nParticipants will explore:\n\n- How to define produc
 tivity meaningfully in mission-driven organisations\n- The difference be
 tween efficiency\, effectiveness and long-term impact\n- The five priori
 ty areas of strategic productivity\n- Tools to diagnose challenges and i
 dentify high-leverage interventions\n- How to build a positive\, inclusi
 ve productivity narrative\n- The session will be interactive\, enabling 
 participants to reflect on their own organisational challenges\, share p
 erspectives and leave with ideas they can apply immediately.\n\nThe morn
 ing begins with a networking breakfast and the workshop followed by an o
 pportunity to continue conversations and build connections across the se
 ctor.\n\nThis workshop is a high-value standalone experience while provi
 ding an introduction into the broader Strategic Productivity programme a
 t Alliance Manchester Business School.\n\nAbout National Productivity We
