A motivated and passionate leader, coaching teams to deliver strategic and business goals. #GettingShitDone
Remember a couple of weeks ago we had the budget (!), and businesses' of all shapes & sizes weren't sure what level of impact it would have... Based on my conversations since then, it seems business owners have figured it out, and it ain't exactly positive... so it's great timing that the next Quarterly Economic Survey is now open for responses. A great opportunity to share your thoughts, tell us what difference you think the budget will make to your business over next few quarters AND some of the activity you are considering to make sure you adapt. Remember, every response & comment helps US at Business West to shape our business advocacy work with Local Authorities & policy makers PLUS the British Chambers of Commerce use it to form their National perspective & approach. Of course you get a copy of the report, with detailed analysis, to benchmark against other businesses in this fabulous region too, if that would be useful. Long story short - don't waste this opportunity to tell us, policy makers, & the business community exactly what you think!

*New policy brief* Co-authored by Roseanna Ander, Founding Director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab and University of Chicago Education Lab, this brief outlines how state and local governments can leverage evidence and data to tackle big challenges and fuel innovation.
The federal government transfers approximately $1.1 trillion dollars every year to state and local governments. Yet most states and localities are not evaluating whether the programs deploying these funds are increasing community well-being. Despite an emerging awareness of the importance of state and local government innovation capacity, there is a shortage of plausible strategies to build that capacity. But that capacity can be built. Here's how. ✍ Roseanna Ander, Laura Feeney, Anna Harvey, Elizabeth Linos + Evan White #DayOne2025 #statecapacity #federalcapacity https://lnkd.in/erbYSKan
