Alliance Manchester Business School
This full day workshop is open to all PhD researchers from any discipline. It will develop your commercial awareness, critical thinking, enhance your communication skills, boost your confidence and strengthen your CV.
Everyone loves the arts and creative industries – yet many cultural sector organisations struggle to make ends meet. To succeed, creative organisations must create products and services that strongly appeal to their audiences. At this one-day workshop, you’ll learn how to help creative organisations do this.
Using the Business Model Canvas to analyse a Manchester-based visitor attraction’s existing operations you will identify:
- Their audiences
- The value they deliver to those audiences
- How they generate income from that value
- How they create that value in the organisation
Participants will then work in small teams to brainstorm ways the partner organisation could use their underutilised assets to innovate and create new opportunities.
Key Learning
By attending this workshop, participants will be given a toolkit that they can use in a variety of scenarios, including:
- Preparing a placement application
- Working as a consultant for an organisation
- Understanding how to deliver impact
- Understanding stakeholders and audiences
- Communicating with influence
