You could be looking for business support to help you drive an uplift in sales through a greater understanding of your internal and external business environments.
Maybe it’s a business leadership strategy or cultural refresh your organisation requires to achieve success from calculated risk taking.
Birmingham City University’s series of Business Innovation Workshops, created and delivered by BCU’s business support specialists, will help you develop new knowledge and innovation for your business.
Business Innovation Workshops are funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and are part of the Innovation Vouchers project.
Our series of Business Innovation Workshops will help you identify, understand and assess your company’s strategic and cultural abilities and create a business environment of innovation and growth.
