Welcome to a series of blogs and vlogs designed to help you better understand Management Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (MKTPs).
Management KTPs are a funding opportunity aimed at helping UK businesses improve the way they work.
They are built on the highly successful Knowledge Transfer Partnership model – the UK’s longest running knowledge exchange programme which has helped more than 14,000 businesses innovate for growth.
Like KTPs, Management KTP’s link you in a collaborative partnership with specialist academics who have the know-how to help you transform the way your business operates.
In this V/blog (one in a series – see links to others below), Professor David Bamford, of Manchester Metropolitan University, explains the benefits to Academics of engaging in Management KTP.
HOW ACADEMICS CAN BENEFIT FROM ENGAGING IN MKTP – Professor David Bamford,, Chair in Operations Management, Manchester Metropolitan University
“I’d like to talk to you today about why academics should get involved in Management Knowledge Transfer Partnerships.
Four immediate reasons come to mind:
This cross discipline collegiate approach is hugely beneficial for increasing communication within and across the University – which can only be a good thing with regards to fertilisation of new ideas, synergies, et cetera.
They could include the application of technology to deliver culture change. For example, the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to change behaviours within an organisation, by showing how data can be turned into information to increase the accuracy of operational prediction, which in turn increases control and reduces risk.
