Programme

What is Building Enterprise?• Building Enterprise is a University and Community Partnership project, jointly

funded by European Regional Development Funds (ERDF), aimed at supporting the development and growth of Social Enterprises.

• Funding for the project is currently available until June 2015

• The project came about from a Community Partnerships strategy aimed at attempting to increase innovation and enterprise within the Community. It follows a similar project that was undertaken previously using Roberts Programme funding.

• One of the key aims of this project is to enable participants to identify a need within their own organisation and with the University’s support, to develop appropriate solutions to meet that need.

Benefits• Building Enterprise aims to develop the capacity of Social Enterprises in

Nottingham and support your organisation to:

• Research ideas, trends and issues affecting you and the wider community.

• Explore opportunities offered by advances in technology.

• Make use of the University’s world class resources and expertise.

• Utilise the University’s wealth of resources to build up your expertise, make new contacts and access support and development opportunities for your organisation.

Challenges: How can the University help you?

• Organisational development – from setting up a new Social Enterprise to adapting the way you do things in an existing one to maximise efficiency.

• Developing ways of measuring and improving your social and /or environmental impact.

• Using advances in new technology to be more innovative, cost efficient and competitive.

• The ability to analyse data and statistics to research growth areas and explore new market opportunities.

• Be part of the University’s Community network and benefit by promoting yourself and keeping updated about other available support activities.

What do you use data for?

More?

“The opportunities offered by wider use of data in the third sector are many, from allowing individual organisations to provide donors and funding bodies with more tangible evidence of their successes, to opening up previously inaccessible datasets that could revolutionise their operations.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2013/apr/30/open-data-charities-perfect-fit

1. Impact and data

“Open data is data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone – subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.” OpenDefinition.org

2. Open Data

3. Open data for Social enterprise“Open Data and Transparency may be the most powerful levers of 21st century public policy. They present multiple opportunities offering benefit to the public sector, individuals, businesses and the UK as a whole. Open Data enables accountability; it improves outcomes and productivity in key services through informed comparison; it transforms social relationships – empowering individuals and communities; and it drives dynamic economic growth.” (Open Government Partnership UK 2011) http://www.opengovpartnership.org/countries/united-kingdom
