Managing small business innovation in the food and drink sectors

As seen in the National and Trade press recently, the current and medium-term business landscape for the UK, especially in food and drink sectors, is likely to be challenging. Largely due to circumstances relating to Brexit, the pandemic, rising energy and materials costs, and their subsequent knock-on effects.

Challenging as this might be, these changes also present new opportunities for small food and drink sector businesses, who can be nimble in their response to rapidly changing market dynamics. Managing innovation and the development of new products and services to meet these opportunities is key to success.

In this workshop we will explore applicable techniques for understanding your current small business capabilities, successfully managing the development of new products and services, and how these can be integrated into your current business offering.
