About this Event

Join James Crawley and the team from Manchester Metropolitan University's Centre for Enterprise for a practical workshop with Wealth Teck's Christiane Hutchinson.

The workshop:

While many innovation frameworks focus on product–market fit, this interactive workshop explores a different question: how innovation decisions influence the long-term value of a company.

Designed for leaders of growing businesses, the session will examine how new products, services and business models can contribute not only to market success, but also to the scalability, resilience and strategic value of the organisation.

Through discussion and practical exercises, you'll gain insights into how innovation can strengthen both business performance and enterprise value.

During the session you'll:

  • explore why many innovations create growth but fail to increase business value.
  • understand the difference between product innovation and value-building innovation.
  • learn how to connect innovation decisions with long-term business value.
  • learn to identify which types of innovation strengthen the strategic value of a company.
  • apply practical tools to assess how innovation impacts your business.
