Transform Your Business with Insight, Innovation, and AI Know‑How.
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future advantage – it’s today’s growth engine. It is more accessible than ever, yet many organisations still struggle to move beyond pilots, isolated tools, and small-scale experiments. While AI tools are plentiful, real value only emerges when the technology is thoughtfully adopted, governed, and embedded within day‑to‑day operations.
Join us for this free, in‑person, high-impact event designed to deepen your strategic capabilities and support continued professional development for SMEs. Featuring a special guest speaker session on AI adoption, alongside a business growth masterclass led by ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ academics, the event provides fresh insight, practical tools, and a taste of the transformational learning offered through the Help to Grow: Management course.

Guest Speaker Session: AI Adoption – A Value‑Focused Framework - Dr Ed Braund, Head of School, Computing, Engineering and Creative Industries
Dr Braund will draw on real‑world experience across industry, public services, and applied research to explore how organisations can unlock value from AI.

- A clear framework for identifying where AI can add genuine business value
- Insight into common failure points in AI adoption—and how to avoid them
- An understanding of the organisational, data, and capability foundations essential for AI success
