Firms to improve digital productivity via free workshops
Small businesses are being offered a new series of free digital workshops and sessions in Birmingham aimed at improving productivity .
Hosted by O2 and small business support network Enterprise Nation, the first on February 28, will teach five ways businesses can accelerate and scale and look at ways to diversity can be a tool for growth.
The session is being led by award-winning Birmingham entrepreneur Joel Blake.
The monthly gatherings will be held at O2’s store in New Street.
Gareth Turpin, director of sales at O2 said: “Birmingham is home to a thriving small business community. We’re delighted to be able to offer these easy to access, free and bite-sized sessions to businesses, as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting and investing in the West Midlands.”
Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation, said: “Having a strong online presence is vital for firms looking for growth and sustainability. And yet it is still perceived to be a big problem that’s difficult to approach and overcome.
“These workshops and meet-ups are about laying the digital foundations for growth through regular instruction and opportunities for supervised problem-solving to help the city’s firms reach their digital ambition.
“Joel is fantastic, with a wealth of experience in the digital world.”
