Digital Data

Organiser

Coventry University Enterprises

This is one of a series of FREE workshops from FOCUS DIGITAL.

If you are a Start-Up or SME based within the following areas: Black Country, Coventry & Warwickshire, Greater Birmingham and Solihull or The Marches, and would like to know more about digital data and how it can help your business - Coventry University Enterprises Business Solutions are offering you the chance to attend a FREE day workshop (6 hours), with the option of an extra 6 hours of one to one support for your business.

The workshop is a full day of 6 hours with refreshments and lunch provided. You are asked to arrive promptly at 0900 for registration ready for an 0930 start.

Digital data provides small businesses with great potential to create competitive advantage and business value in the growing digital economy – from effective customer relationship management, to evidence-based digital marketing strategy across the online estate. However, developments in the regulatory environment, and daily media coverage of cyber-threats means business owners also need to be aware of and effectively manage the risks.

This 1-day workshop will focus on the opportunities and business value that can be created by the effective harvesting, management and utilisation of digital data across business activities such as customer relationship management, web analytics, digital marketing, and data as a storytelling tool.

The workshop will also provide a hands-on guide to risk management, including the new statutory requirements for data protection covered by the 2018 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) plus and overview of data security.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
