In this interactive series of two-hour workshops with an academic and/or postgraduate ambassadors, students will develop their understanding of a range of essential areas of business and consider how these areas interact in ensuring a business or not-for-profit organisation continues to innovate and can maximise its reach and impact.

Going Digital: business expansion and development: In this workshop students will deepen their understanding of the influence of technology on business strategy (e.g., PESTLE analysis), and the uses and impacts of digital technology for business and marketing strategies.

Idea to Operations: business innovation: In this workshop students will develop their understanding of the role of creativity and innovation in ensuring business sustainability and competitiveness. Through the use of real-world examples, they will apply their understanding to examine the impacts on business start-up, development and management.

Depending on the length of your visit students will each experience two or three of the workshops, all three workshops are offered during the carousel. The sessions are two hours each and can be booked individually.
