On Thursday 7th September 2023 the School of Management will be hosting the first ‘Co-Creation’ Event which will focus in on developing student projects to support organisational needs.

For the past 60 years the School of Management has worked with the Bradford and West Yorkshire business community to help solve their problems, develop, and grow their organisation using the talents of our students and staff.

We would like to invite you to a co-creation event to support you to develop a tricky problem or opportunity you have in your organisation, into a student project.

Colleagues will be available to take you through this journey, so you have a worked through project opportunity ready to promote to our students.

This opportunity allows a fresh insight to look at the projects you may not have had the resource to do.  This is a pro-bono opportunity so look at it as free consultancy!

The event will begin at 5pm on the 7th and be followed by an informal networking dinner. This is your chance to work with the School of Management to understand and deliver a student project which can aid your business.

If you are interested in attending then you can register now via Eventbrite.

We will be discussing and exploring opportunities including the Bradford Business Challenge which is a three-way collaborative partnership programme between the School of Management, final year business and management students and local organisations. We’ll work with you to develop your business projects which will then be undertaken by our students under guidance of academics to identify and co-create solutions for local problems that resonate globally. The project will culminate in a comprehensive strategic report with recommendations providing you with solutions to your organisations’ challenges.
