Innovation is no longer optional, but for many established organisations, knowing how to evolve can feel overwhelming.

This Networking Masterclass is designed for Glasgow-based businesses who want to embrace technological change, improve processes and build a culture that supports innovation at every level. This is not traditional networking - it’s a practical, facilitated session combining expert insight, peer learning and structured connection with purpose.

You’ll leave with fresh thinking, new connections and clear actions you can apply immediately in your organisation.

By attending this masterclass, you will:

• Understand how to approach innovation in a practical, achievable way
• Explore digital adoption strategies relevant to your organisation
• Learn how to encourage innovation within established teams and structures
• Connect with peers facing similar challenges
• Develop a clear, actionable plan to take back to your business

This session explores how organisations can:

• Embrace technological evolution with confidence
• Identify opportunities for digital and process innovation
• Create the conditions for experimentation and continuous improvement
• Build a forward-thinking culture within mature or scaling organisations

This masterclass will be led by Jordan and Katy, bringing expert insight and real-world experience into innovation, technology and business growth.

You’ll also hear from peers and practitioners through facilitated discussion and group activities.

This session is ideal for:

• Business owners and founders
• Senior leaders and directors
• Innovation, digital and transformation leads
• HR and people leaders shaping culture
• Glasgow-based SMEs and established organisations

Each 3-hour masterclass is structured to maximise learning, participation, and meaningful networking:

• Welcome Networking: Coffee and informal introductions
• Expert-Led Introduction: Trends, challenges, and strategic insights
• Interactive Workshop: Group activities to develop actionable partnership and social value strategies
• Refreshment Break: Space to network
