Made Smarter Leadership Programme
A 5-month leadership programme in conjunction with the NW pilot MADE SMARTER. With the pace of change being more intense than ever, this programme is specifically designed for business leaders of manufacturing SMEs wanting to improve their productivity through the adoption of new industrial digital technologies (IDTs).
About the Programme
This is a historic programme that was subsidised by the Made Smarter pilot between 2019 and 2021. For further information about other business development opportunities please get in touch with us.
The Made Smarter Leadership Programme is designed to provide you with the knowledge and expertise to drive change within your organisation to transition to be a smart manufacturer. It takes a collaboratory approach bringing together a group of SMEs with key stakeholders to enable their vision to occur.
At Lancaster University we are skilled, accomplished and committed to deliver high quality content that challenge new ideas, no matter the format of delivery we implement. From online delivery to face-to-face workshops and company visits, we are committed to creating a safe space for delegates to learn, collaborate and share new ideas.

Programme Elements
Made Smarter includes two non-consecutive days each month to develop your knowledge and leadership skills. This will be delivered through a range of activity from initial workshops from leading academics from Lancaster University’s Management School, sharing cutting edge research alongside business practitioners. Finally, you will have the chance to create your own ‘sprint’ to test out ideas within your organisation.
The Benefits
The programme will increase your leadership capability and capacity to drive your business through this transformational time to achieve responsible and sustainable growth. You will gain a clear vision and sense of purpose for pursuing smarter manufacturing, as well as having the opportunity to actively experiment and implement IDTs, by working collaboratively in strong and trusting peer networks.
