Our impact on organisations
Our research has transformed innovation processes in many UK-based organisations, such as Arup, IBM, Atkins, Laing O’Rourke and the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), helping them remain at the forefront of technological, systems and service innovation. We engage with world-leading innovators who utilise our relevant, practical and high-quality academic outputs to harness and exploit innovation.
Many of our projects are co-developed with industry partners, including world-leading multinationals and SMEs, allowing us to develop timely and relevant solutions. Through our Executive Education training programmes, we supply teaching for leading companies, focusing on complex issues in technology development, idea creation, innovation, incubation, technical construction, spin-out and business management. We are helping these organisations to invest in their staff and maximise the skills needed to advance their business.
Building collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships is a core purpose of the Department of Management & Entrepreneurship. From these partnerships we gain unique access to valuable data, resources and practical support, whilst out partners benefit from applying the latest academic insights to support the competitive development of the business.
