Measuring What Matters: Help Lead the Debate

21/12/2011

Since the publication of 'More Than GDP: Measuring What Matters' in May 2011, the report has sparked dozens of debates across Scotland and the UK about the importance of measuring social wellbeing.

 

In December 2011, Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney announced reforms to the national performance framework, Scotland Performs. In doing so, Mr Swinney recognised the "growing interest in wellbeing and in particular the report of the Carnegie Trust Round Table."

To measure what matters, the Trust believes we have first to decide what matters to us as a society - and that demands public debate.

So the Trust would like to help people to lead a discussion in their community, workplace or voluntary organisation on this subject.

A slide presentation, speaker notes and resources pack has been created to help facilitate discussions. These are designed to be simple to deliver, understand, and engage with. To view or download the resources, please click here.
