Top 10 most productive councils in England
Traditional performance tools don't work very well when applied to complex public sector systems – so we decided to build our own.
What is EDGEWORK?
Learn more about how iMPOWER delivers sustainable change and better public services.
iMPOWER iNDEX
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.

Adult Social Care: Target Demand Systems
Demand-led change is the best option for creating a sustainable adult social care system and improving outcomes. First councils need to understand the demand they face and what level of it is avoidable.
Children's Services: Target Demand Redesign
Early impactful intervention provides a real opportunity to reduce the number of children entering specialist services, and to effectively manage demand across the system.
Delivery Partnerships
Partnerships are the most effective way to deliver effective and sustainable change in the public sector, sharing responsibility for delivery and developing a shared ambition for those involved.
Health and Care Interface
By taking a person-centred view, promoting independence and working upstream to provide health and care services, it is possible to deliver better outcomes for less.
Valuing Care
The life chances of children in care can be improved by strengthening the links between children’s needs, the outcomes being pursued, and the resources available.
