Lincoln International Business School’s Help to Grow: Management programme is 90% funded by the government, delivered in partnership with the Small Business Charter and runs for 12 weeks via online and face-to-face sessions, 1-to-1 mentoring and peer networking.
15 SME delegates embarked on their learning journey as the first cohort back in January 2023. Working collaboratively, the delegates surged ahead in exploring avenues in the ever-evolving digital landscape. By reflecting on their current practice and observation using horizon scan, their digital readiness resonated with the latest research findings from Enterprise Research Centre Business Futures and the Federation of Small Businesses. These acknowledge that SMEs across the UK are rapidly adopting digital technology, willing to tackle digital challenges and constructing outcomes that can reshape success narratives.

The Digital Adoption module is tailored for SMEs to address how businesses can gauge to embrace digital innovation and transformation. It will help to identify and utilise internal and external factors that drive the digital journey, for performance enhancement; process optimisation; product diversification and personalised experience.
