Influencing performance

99  LSP partners have different views about the role of performance steering. Over half of LSPs discuss performance against locally agreed outcomes, but only a quarter manage performance (Figure 14).

100 If LSPs are to 'review and performance manage progress against the priorities and targets agreed in the LAA and ensure delivery arrangements are in place' (Ref. 11), they will also need to challenge performance. While 75 per cent of partners agree that an LSP should challenge their performance against locally agreed outcomes, only 41 per cent say their LSP does.
