Driving productivity from the top

The Australian Institute of Company Directors and KPMG are delighted to partner on this important study which asks directors and governance leaders to evaluate the conditions and decisions that drive productivity in Australia.

The views captured in the survey and this resulting report provide useful insights into the priorities of directors - including the role of directors and the board in establishing and leading a productivity agenda.

Specifically, the report identifies the impacts of often fluid public policy on productivity, innovation and social cohesion. It highlights the challenges of the current - largely short-term - policy-making process with respect to creating longevity, stability and meaningful reform for the Australian economy and society. It also underlines where the government should focus policy development for the long-term and how public policy can impact on productivity and innovation and reshape the workforce.
