ADVICE ON INNOVATION
Strategic advice and support for small businesses that wish to innovate, seek out new opportunities or integrate creative techniques
Thinking about innovation means thinking about the future of the business, even in small businesses. Have you thought about what other types of customers you could reach? How your product or service could develop? If you need to structure the innovation process to measure results? And who you could collaborate with to innovate?
