LANCASTER UNIVERSITY
The Cumbria Forum is designed for leaders of Cumbria-based SMEs who want to build businesses which focus on both profit and purpose. As businesses start to move on from the immediate effects of the pandemic and the end of the Brexit Transition Period, it is time to look to the future. In that future, the old ways of doing business will not be enough. Organisations of the Future need to be responsible - not only to their employees and customers, but also to society and the planet. These are the success measures against which consumers and stakeholders now judge companies. Covering topics such as business resilience, innovation and leadership, under an overarching theme of Responsible Recovery, the Cumbria Forum is delivered in a safe and trusted peer-learning environment over four months. Cumbria Forum will enable you to: • Plan for a business that is not just economically successful, but is socially and environmentally responsible • Play your part in the wider recovery of the Cumbria economy - creating stability and sustainability in the wake of the pandemic, Brexit and other external influences • Connect with like-minded peers in a deep-trust environment to build relationships to support you and your business into the future • Take part in a peer-consultancy activity to gain fresh insights to your business strategy Cost This programme is fully-funded and available to European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) eligible businesses. Visit our website for eligibility details.
