Our new report is out: who is achieving better outcomes for people whilst also spending less money?
The IMPOWER INDEX is a benchmarking tool with a difference - it grades councils on productivity (outcome value per £). Using publicly available data sets and looking at performance through six different lenses, it allows councils to compare performance against other authorities, and drill down into their own data.
At IMPOWER insight leads our approach. Our team regularly publish articles and reports that explore the challenge of delivering better public services.
