South London businesses - come along to this taster event to find out how adopting an innovative approach can help your business grow
About this event
Innovation can be quite an intimidating word – it sits neatly alongside other buzz phrases like ‘ground-breaking’ and ‘trailblazing’. But what it really means for you is: introducing something new to your business.
That could be as simple as improving a process or extending a range of products or services.
The benefits of even small incremental changes to the way you deliver your products and services can have a major impact on your bottom line. And who doesn’t want to achieve that in a post-Covid economy?
BIG South London will shortly be launching a new, fully funded Innovation Support Programme, which will help business and charity founders to inject innovation and creativity into the way you grow your organisation. Find out what to expect from the Innovation Support Programme here.
Whatever stage you’re at, to find out if the programme is for you, come along to this online taster session. We’ll be using real business case studies to demonstrate the value of introducing an innovative approach to your business and the benefits of working with a university.
