News: £3m innovation boost to businesses in the region
Businesses in Rotherham are to benefit from a £3m leadership and executive management programme aimed at promoting innovation during the credit crunch.
Called "Innovation Leaders", the three year project is being managed by Sheffield Business School at Sheffield Hallam University and the Management School at the University of Sheffield with the funding coming from the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
The main aim is to build regional competitiveness through developing future leaders - with small and medium-sized businesses to benefit the most.
Professor Mike Smith, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Transfer at Sheffield Hallam, said: "Innovation Leaders is about the two Universities in our city working together to meet the demands from business for improved skills and business innovation.
"With the demand being led by business, the project provides an exciting opportunity for a real step change in the relationship between higher education and industry to benefit the region's economy and its future development."
John Cullen, associate dean at the University of Sheffield's Management School, said: "This is a great opportunity for the two Universities in Sheffield to build on their complementary skills for the benefit of the region´s organisations."
As well as developing leadership and management skills, the project will improve participants' problem solving and job skills.
