RESET RESTART SERIES 22/23 - HOW TO USE TECH FOR YOUR BUSINESS

We'll be working with our partners at the British Library to deliver a series of workshops and group mentoring sessions for entrepreneurs focused on using tech and digital tools to build their businesses.

Free webinar: How to use Tech for Your Business.

September, 2022.
Tickets: Webinar Reset Restart How to use tech for your business - The British Library (bl.uk).

Do you want to use tech in your business to help you grow, add capacity, offer a slicker customer experience or take your business to the next level?

We'll give you the practical information and confidence to understand what’s involved and demystify the jargon.
You’ll learn more about the key dos and don'ts to be aware of before diving into the world of tech!
For businesses with an online presence, this session will help you to:

• Understand the skills and tools for getting a website, web application, or mobile application built
• Gain practical knowledge about programming languages and development processes
• Learn the relevant jargon to get yourself up-to-speed, so that you’re familiar with the terms and terminology to communicate your needs clearly 
• Learn how to hire and successfully manage a relationship with a developer, and how to stay on track with the development of a digital product
• Explore options and alternatives with tools to help you “Do It Yourself” and minimise costs, rather than hiring a developer to assist you.

Absolutely no technical knowledge or experience is required; this session is designed for non-technical people!
There will also be a chance to ask your own questions and to get some follow-up time with our expert.
​
