You had a chance to voice your ideas during the Shape our Future sessions, local team discussions and online. All ideas from these sessions are being considered and, while we can’t promise to use every idea, your contribution is vitally important.
As well as the reviews, Mark asked staff based outside the UK to help build global value.
Building global value
You have professional experience of different places, different technologies, different media consumption by audiences and customers, understanding of different practices and are working in some very different markets outside the UK in which different things are already happening.
We wanted to find out more about how the world is changing outside the UK and asked you for your ideas about building global value.
Global value is one of our five public purposes. It is not a review, but we wanted to hear your thoughts. Below is an outline of each review.
Value for money
This review focuses on how we can be more effective in the way we work so that we can channel more money into programme-making and make the best use of all our income including the licence fee.
Our ideas and vision are ambitious and many will require new funding. Self help through efficiencies, savings and increased commercial revenues is the starting pointing for all our investments. We have to be prepared to do more with less money in the future. Commercial
Being as small as our mission allows means understanding the right scale and scope for the BBC’s commercial activities. Our commercial strategy should ensure maximum value for licence payers by exploiting our assets as effectively as possible, while protecting our editorial and brand integrity, whether through ownership, through partnerships or through outsourcing and licensing agreements. Content supply
The BBC should be as small as its mission allows. That’s what the public expect of us. So the depth of our in house activity should be determined by the needs of the audience. We also want the best ideas for our programmes, not necessarily just those which come from in house. This is why we’re doing a review of in-house production and commissioning (now called the content supply review).
We need to raise the bar in creativity, quality and innovation. We need to find the best new talent, fund and support the next generation of high-quality British drama, comedy and entertainment, invest in arts and restore serious current affairs on TV. Out of London
The BBC is too London-centric. We need to be more responsive to, and reflective of audiences around the UK - which means we are looking to spread our staff and spend more evenly across the UK.
Currently, only 42% of BBC licence-fee funded staff are based outside London, and we aim to increase this to 50% over the next 10 years. Manchester will become the largest broadcast centre out of London and we are currently looking at the creative and cost implications before deciding which production, commissioning and professional services will move.
