Leaders from business, academia, the third sector and trade unions have been appointed to the new delivery board promised in the Scottish Government's National Economic Strategy.
The National Strategy for Economic Transformation Delivery Board will be co-chaired by Economy Secretary Kate Forbes and Barry White, who has held senior leadership roles in the private and public sectors, including as a former chief executive of the Scottish Futures Trust.
The board, and its 12 members, replaces the Enterprise and Skills Strategic Board, with an enhanced remit to hold all partners to account for delivery of the commitments in the national strategy.
