This survey gives new insights into micro-businesses (firms with between one and nine employees), a group that are often neglected in official business surveys. The presentation explored what influences productivity amongst the micro-business population, emphasising in particular the benefits of the adoption of digital technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen\u2019s presentation was complemented by the second speaker of the day, Rannia Leontaridi OBE, Director of Business Growth at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Rannia gave an overview of evidence on the UK\u2019s productivity performance and outlined what government is doing, alongside partners, to tackle the so-called \u2018long tail\u2019 of low productivity firms.<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-318j10f-a0aa675a11eb7f8be16bb3d62db9ecfd\">\n.avia-image-container.av-318j10f-a0aa675a11eb7f8be16bb3d62db9ecfd .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-318j10f-a0aa675a11eb7f8be16bb3d62db9ecfd av-styling- avia-align-left  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-37891 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37891 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-300x200.jpg\" alt='' title='ERC Conference 2018'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-705x471.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-76-500x334.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2r35b27-9f48a829a133916560cdda781ba31334\">\n.avia-image-container.av-2r35b27-9f48a829a133916560cdda781ba31334 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-2r35b27-9f48a829a133916560cdda781ba31334 av-styling- avia-align-right  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-37896 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37896 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-300x200.jpg\" alt='' title='ERC Conference 2018'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-705x471.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-106-500x334.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The challenges involved in making productivity improvements at firm level were then brought to life by Dan Severn, Operations Director at DM Orthotics, a Cornwall-based SME and manufacturer of medical and sports performance products. Dan spoke vividly about the journey the company has been on to turn around inefficient manufacturing processes, and the crucial support they needed by external experts to identify problems and solutions. He also highlighted the tension that exists for SMEs between job creation and productivity \u2013 a theme that re-emerged in discussion through the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The second half of the morning session moved on to look at spatial dimensions of productivity, and explored some initiatives taking place at local level. Professor Mark Hart opened the session with a presentation of key findings from the latest UK Local Growth Dashboard, which presents a useful set of business growth metrics for start-ups and existing firms broken down by geographical area. The presentation highlighted the local variation that exists in the UK in terms of SME growth dynamics and also pointed to the poor correlation that exists between jobs growth and productivity gains.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Lee of NatWest took to the stage next to talk about a new approach to delivering business support at the local level in the West Midlands, focusing on disadvantaged migrant entrepreneurs. The programme involves a collaboration between NatWest, the Centre for Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship at Birmingham University, the GBSLEP Growth Hub and Citizens UK. A key theme of Andy\u2019s presentation was the importance of building trust within communities and the benefits of partnership working. One of the entrepreneurs involved in the programme, Tsitsi Mudokwani, CEO of Sister\u2019s Care Services, then spoke powerfully about her experiences as a migrant setting up a new business in the UK, and the difference that targeted advice and guidance can make.<\/p>\n<p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-25a34sf-03c5c1807b0e66888688034e571e3c39\">\n.avia-image-container.av-25a34sf-03c5c1807b0e66888688034e571e3c39 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-25a34sf-03c5c1807b0e66888688034e571e3c39 av-styling- avia-align-left  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-37907 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37907 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-300x200.jpg\" alt='' title='ERC Conference 2018'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-705x471.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-179-500x334.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>Andy and Tsitsi were then joined in a panel discussion by Ben Still, Managing Director of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and Irene Graham, CEO of the ScaleUp Institute to explore the role of SMEs in local economic growth. Key themes raised were the importance of face-to-face contact, engagement and relationships for SMEs, the need for targeted, segmented business support and provision of local access points. The valuable role played by Growth Hubs was also emphasised, and panellists reflected on the need for a long-term focus and greater investment in SME support.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>After a networking lunch we began the afternoon session with\u00a0 keynote presentation by Tony Danker, CEO of Be the Business.\u00a0 \n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1n1e0jj-d6b7b0d9f9d375051f8ba4ee218717ad\">\n.avia-image-container.av-1n1e0jj-d6b7b0d9f9d375051f8ba4ee218717ad .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-1n1e0jj-d6b7b0d9f9d375051f8ba4ee218717ad av-styling- avia-align-right  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-37908 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-37908 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-300x200.jpg\" alt='' title='ERC Conference 2018'  height=\"200\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-705x471.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ERC-2018-183-500x334.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div> Tony outlined the mission of this newly-formed organisation to build a \u2018productivity movement\u2019 in the UK, explaining the rationale for their decision to focus activity particularly on the SME community. Tony echoed the earlier points made about the invaluable role of effective collaboration between business support organisations and also between large and small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The final session of the day was a thought-provoking panel discussion focusing on the important theme of Brexit and the associated challenges and opportunities for SMEs. The panellists were Adam Marshall of the British Chambers of Commerce, Sonali Parekh of the Federation of Small Business, Matthew Fell of the CBI and Professor Philip McCann of the ESRC-funded Productivity Insights Network. The discussion touched on a range of themes, but prominent points included the complexity of implications that Brexit has for SMEs and the impact this is having on mindsets, the need for a clear focus on priorities and practicalities in particular around exporting and skills strategy, and how to find effective ways of engaging SMEs on productivity when the term itself tends to \u2018switch off\u2019 many business leaders.\u00a0\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
