“Let’s get the Job done”

Gloucestershire is packed with innovative entrepreneurs with ideas and vision in a way that is a rare and valuable resource. Of that, there is no doubt.

However true that is, we need to deliver the vision all the way through innovation, operations, communications and transactions. If we don’t, then there is little point in starting the process.

So, where are the hold-ups? How does innovation happen? Where are the barriers and how do we overcome them? We’ll take a swift journey through leadership, innovation, creative thinking and identifying things that we can, and those that we can’t control. In business, there is no such thing as standing still. We are either moving forward or backwards. If something is stopping us from moving forward, then we need to identify it and find a solution to get us back on track…. Or go and find something better to do!

Entrepreneurs’ Network events are offered by Start and Grow Enterprise, a University of Gloucestershire project with funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). Start and Grow Enterprise supports the growth of Gloucestershire-based entrepreneurs and start-ups (trading up to 3 years) through free training, events, networks and resources.
