Running a small business means juggling constant challenges—finding customers, standing out, adapting to change, and making the most of limited time and resources. Design-led innovation isn’t just for big organisations with big budgets. It’s a practical, accessible approach that helps small business owners make smarter decisions, improve products and services, and uncover new opportunities.
Join us for a hands-on workshop designed specifically for SMEs, sole traders, and one-person businesses.
You’ll learn how to:
- See your business through your customers’ eyes and uncover what they really need
- Spot opportunities for growth, efficiency, and differentiation
- Test ideas quickly without wasting time or money
- Build confidence in creativity and problem-solving
- Use simple, repeatable tools you can apply immediately
You’ll also hear from David Wray of Grease Monkey, sharing his real-world experience of building a successful local business.
Whether you want to improve your offer, stand out from competitors, or find smarter ways of working, this session will give you the structure, confidence and practical tools to innovate—on your scale.
