Abstract

This paper reports on findings and key learning from a business support project piloted to mainstream gender diversity early in an SME’s development of systems and structures and linking it specifically to strategies for growth and expansion. The authors co-designed, delivered and evaluated the project through a practitioner-academic partnership whereby research and practice informed each other through knowledge exchange. The Innovation SuperNetwork is a “network of networks”, bringing together over 60 partners and more than 5000 businesses to increase innovation, collaboration and business growth in the North East. It aims to create the space to explore fresh ideas with innovative activity. In this project, the Network’s Executive Director collaborated with an academic from the Leadership Development and Organisation Futures team at Newcastle University Business School.
