About this Event

Are you ready to innovate?

Join us for an in-person session at the Knowledge Exchange in Leeds on 5th March, where we’ll explore innovation and change within business – and how to build the right foundations for sustainable growth.


Does any of this sound familiar?

"I’m so busy running my business I don’t have time to change or innovate", "I want to innovate but I’m too busy to think about it", "I don’t know how to innovate", "I’ve tried to change things, but it just hasn’t worked", "I’m worried that change will be too disruptive", "Innovation isn’t for me – my business is doing fine", "I don’t know where to get help".


If you’re struggling with any of these challenges, this session is for you.

As business owners and senior leaders, it’s easy to become consumed by working in the business, leaving little time to work on the business. Innovation can feel intimidating, overwhelming, or simply irrelevant to your day-to-day reality.

But innovation and change apply to all businesses. Doing things differently and making meaningful change has never been more important for building resilience and long-term success. By embedding the right foundations, your business becomes more robust and better positioned for sustainable growth.

In a world of rapidly evolving technologies, data, and business models, the opportunities are endless – but without strong foundations, attempts at transformation can quickly unravel.

Do you have the right foundations for innovation?

In this session, we’ll explore what’s needed to support innovation in your business, how to make change achievable and meaningful, and how to do it without throwing the rest of the business into chaos.

We’ll also signpost you to organisations and support that can help you take the next step.


At this event, we will hear from several speakers, including:

  • Paul Snape - Business owner, Appeal PR and Great British Marketing
  • Fiona Conor - Managing director, Trust Electric Heating
  • Paul Kenny - Managing director, Aquatrust
  • Anne-Marie Gallagher & Julian Farrell - BDM's, Leeds Beckett University
  • Leeds Beckett University Academic speaker TBC
