Scotland Performs

"Scotland Performs", www.scotlandperforms.com, is a new way of reporting on how well the nation is progressing which has been launched on the Scottish Government's website.

The Government wants to take a strategic approach to government with a focus on outcomes. They are focussing all of government and public services on a single, over-arching Purpose - to create a more successful country, with opportunities for all Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.

The Government established a National Performance Framework, published in the Spending Review 2007, to underpin delivery of this Purpose.

Scotland Performs publishes data to show how well the country is progressing against this framework. It is designed to be clear, logical and easy to understand. Where in the past there has been a proliferation of different priorities, they now have a unified vision and quantifiable benchmarks against which future progress can be assessed.

Scotland Performs aims to:

• help you see how you and your organisation can help deliver a more successful country through increasing sustainable economic growth
• show how the Purpose can be achieved by working together towards the National Outcomes
• show how the strategic objectives frame the work of the Government provides clear and robust data to show progress towards the Purpose Targets and National Indicators
