Productivity Matters 2026: The Art of Change

Disruptive technologies, geopolitical challenges and the climate crisis mean organisations are now navigating an increasingly complex landscape.

For businesses, social enterprises and charities, the ability to adapt, build resilience and capability while staying competitive is crucial if they are to thrive in times of change.

Uncertainty can be uncomfortable - but change can lead to innovation and exciting opportunities.

This conference will explore the art of change and will be relevant to both employers and employees in all departments and from across sectors and industries.

• Real stories from experienced businesses
• Time for networking and peer-to-peer learning
• Learn tools, models and theories to help you thrive in change

Join us for an inspiring day of insight and networking.

This event will be delivered in partnership with the University of Aberdeen, The Productivity Institute Scotland Forum and the University of Glasgow.

All proceeds from ticket sales will go to support local charity

Productivity Matters is Peer Works’ annual conference that brings together organisations from Scotland’s private, public and third sectors to learn new strategies that can help your organisation boost productivity and increase your resilience.

We have decided to bring our Productivity Matters conference to Aberdeen because the Peer Works community in city is growing strongly. This year’s theme is ‘The Art of Change’ and there is no better place than Aberdeen to discuss transformation and innovation.

Unfortunately, there will be no online tickets. This year, we are prioritising the in-person experience for our conference attendees.
