Conclusion
Uncertainty about the relevance or content of the Industrial Strategy suggests that, in combination, the strategy’s multiple overlapping features made it overly complex and obscured its purpose. The extent to which the strategy’s Foundations and Grand Challenges shaped the day-to-day experience of the business people who participated in our roundtables was limited, as was their understanding of granular elements of the strategy. Stakeholders in the devolved nations also noted insufficient opportunities for engagement with the Government on these fundamental aspects of the Strategy.
