Innovation is one of those words that can be overused to the point of being meaningless. But it's actually critical for your organisation.

 

And may not be what you think it is.

 

Yes, innovation can mean the creation of new products, but changing the way you speak to your customers, manage your team, or finding new suppliers can radically improve your business.

 

So we're going to be hearing about different ways you can change your business for the better, so that afterwards, you can do it too.

 

Speakers include -

 

Darren Evans, The Engine Room

Your brand is defined by your customers’ perception of your organisation. Capturing their hearts and minds is essential. The Engine Room are experts in uncovering, defining and visualising what makes businesses different - inside and out. And they have awards to prove it.

Whether it's entering new markets, increasing exports, launching a new product, or understanding customers better, an innovative approach will always beat doing the same old thing.

Darren will show us how it's done.

 

 

 

 

Rise and Design lasts for approximately three hours, and includes networking before and after speakers. There is a chance to pitch at the end of the speakers' presentations, and you can book a stand for the whole event. We encourage all delegates to stay after presentations for networking - it is one of the most valuable parts of Rise and Design.
