    Working with Innovate UK Business Growth to empower specialists in standards knowledge

    Standards are vital for resilient businesses and growth. Innovate UK Business Growth's support aids SMEs in navigating the pandemic and accessing crucial information.

    The Challenge

    Many businesses overlook the business benefits of standards

    Innovate UK Business Growth aimed to change this perception and educate business owners about the potential of standards for growth and scalability.

    Additionally, their innovation and growth specialists lacked knowledge about standards and their advantages.

    To address this, Innovate UK Business Growth collaborated with us to develop an educational toolkit and training program. This initiative not only equipped the specialists to guide businesses effectively but also highlighted the value of collaborative, peer-reviewed best practices found in standards.

    The goal was to help businesses recognize standards as a valuable resource for growth and provide them with expert advice on leveraging the standards landscape.

    The Solution

    Equipping specialists to drive solutions with standards

    After identifying the areas experts needed training and post-training in, BSI developed a multi-channel programme with a dedicated microsite, a Standards Tools course and Standards Foundations course.

    The Standards Tools course was a four-month programme of 14 training sessions delivered through presentations, live demos and Q&A sessions, teaching the Innovate UK Business Growth experts how to navigate the systems and access standards.

    The Standards Foundation course, a three-month programme of 12 sessions, then ensured specialists were able to identify the right standards and advise on implementing them in practice. These two courses were underpinned by a dedicated website which housed all the content and other useful resources.
