Set your business up for growth with a Government-funded university partnership Are you and your organisation looking to increase productivity, create strategies to build resilience or improve your business processes to gear up for growth? Leeds Beckett University is leading Government-funded Management Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (mKTPs) projects which run from 12 months to three years and are customised to the needs of each business. Each project is a partnership between the company, a team of academic experts from Leeds Business School, and a skilled graduate recruited by the University to lead the project and work as a full-time member of the organisation.
The projects are open to businesses of any size and from any industry. The teams work together to identify key strategic management-based initiatives to increase business effectiveness and improve results. Jo Griffiths, Knowledge Transfer Manager at Leeds Beckett, explained: “Through our mKTPs, we are working as longterm partners with our companies – creating a robust platform to enable them to achieve their goals and drive strategic, long-lasting change. “Our team of academics have a wealth of experience of working with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and running their own businesses; and can give you the practical tools and knowledge needed to develop and grow your business.”
