Gain the tools, insights and confidence to guide your organisation through its digital transformation, with support from Keele University. Exclusively available to Staffordshire or Stoke-on-Trent SMEs, the fully-funded Digital Accelerator sessions offer two days of insights into data and digitalisation with practical workshops to apply these to your busines
The Digital Accelerator sessions are aimed at small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They're designed to help SMEs locally complete and work towards a digital transformation journey. There's a lot of information going around, but most businesses either cannot easily access that information or make sense of it. The goal of digitalization is to simplify that process.
Digital transformation presents a significant challenge, especially regarding having the correct digital skills in your business. It's crucial to partner with organizations, such as local universities, that can provide those skills. This initiative is about offering the infrastructure, the facilities here at Keele, and the necessary software to help businesses learn without having to travel long distances. They can learn right here on their doorstep.
If you've heard a lot about digitalization and digital transformation but are not quite sure what it means for you, this is a great place to start. It has given me a great opportunity to access a wide range of information technology and related topics, which has been very helpful. The format has been excellent, including keynote speakers, panels, and workshops. Networking is always valuable because you never know who is at your table or in the room and how you can help each other.
The variety of delivery methods has also been beneficial. It provides education, support, and the opportunity to share experiences with other businesses. I would definitely recommend Keele!
