Research shows 85% of UK SMEs consider innovation an essential part of Covid-19 recovery – yet less than 15% feel the Government is doing enough to support it.
Fewer than 30% of these same executives feel confident that they are prepared to address the changes they see coming and have no real Innovation plan to capitalise on any new opportunities.
These EY sponsored events are designed to shine a spotlight on some of the exciting SME’s in the Eastern region, especially those contributing towards better working practices, sustainability goals and innovation.
Addressing issues such as:
• What do you see as the next ‘big thing’ that will affect your business? • How do you encourage innovation, and what’s the best way to foster that mindset? • What skills, experience and behaviours will we need from our staff in the next few years? • How do we recruit the right people who will be comfortable with change? • How can we become a greener business? • How do we make ourselves more efficient and therefore more profitable?
Reinvigorate your business with fresh ideas, meet industry pioneers, hear from award-winning guest speakers and discover how to deliver breakthrough results.
