***PLEASE NOTE: AS OF OCTOBER 2022, PAPI INNOVATION WORKSHOPS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO MORE PLANNED***

PAPI workshops offer two days worth of business support, in two parts, from top business coaches. By the end of the workshop, you will have a detailed innovation plan for your business, designed to help you to grow.

The workshop offers bespoke, individual support from the moment you enrol. Before you attend part one, you will have the first of three mentoring sessions with innovation and business growth expert, Dr Jo North, allowing you to discuss your business and how we can help you to grow.

Part one is a group session, with other like-minded business owners, and will provide you with tools and insight into innovation techniques and what you can do within your business as we exit the covid-19 crisis and beyond. The sessions will be challenging and encourage you to think in ways you've perhaps not considered before. Following part one, you will have your second one-to-one mentoring session with Dr Jo North.

Part two is a range of 'pick and mix' 1.5 hour sessions, hosted by a range of business experts, giving you a broad learning opportunity. Topics include: how to do business with large organisations, how to create innovative online content, numbers and finance and much more. Following these sessions, you will have your final one-to-one mentoring session with Dr Jo North, who will help you complete your innovation plan.
