These workshops give you and your team the confidence to make data-driven decisions that actually move the needle.

UKSPF BIG (Business Innovation Growth) programme – two essential workshops for South London businesses ready to grow:

From numbers to results: making data work for your business

Embedding metrics and measurements for sustainable gain

Workshop one: making data work for your business

Stop drowning in numbers that don’t tell you anything useful. This hands-on workshop transforms data from a headache into your competitive advantage. You’ll learn how to truly understand your customers, track what’s actually driving results, and identify the opportunities that will fuel your next phase of growth.

We’ll cut through the technical jargon and give you practical, immediately usable tools to start collecting and using data that directly impacts your bottom line. Whether you’re a start-up, established small to medium Enterprise, Sole Trader, large company, or Community Interest Company in Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Richmond, Southwark, Sutton, and Wandsworth, you’ll leave with clear strategies tailored to your specific challenges.

Workshop two: from insights to action

Data without action is just expensive decoration. In this follow-up session, we’ll help you build a comprehensive measurement framework around your business goals. You’ll map out exactly where to gather customer feedback, track performance, and measure real impact across your operations.

Walk away with a concrete action plan that shows you what’s working, what isn’t, and where your biggest opportunities lie. No more guesswork – just clear, actionable intelligence that drives results.

This workshop will be held on a different day from workshop 1 (Making data work for your business). The date and venue will be confirmed after workshop 1, and all attendees of workshop 1 will be invited directly to attend workshop 2.
