How can the theory of change, called the impact pathway in the Industrial Strategy technical annex, be refined to support strategic decision-making, policy coordination and guide investment in longer term data requirements for monitoring and evaluation?

Background

The Industrial Strategy is not a statement of policy at a single point in time, but a live strategy that will evolve and respond to economic, technical, and societal changes over the next decade. Effective ongoing M&E will be essential to learning the lessons from implementation and evolving the strategy in response to delivery progress and relevant developments in the UK and global economy.
