Enterprise and Regeneration

Linking enterprise with regeneration has been a speciality and passion of Iain Scott and the Enterprise Island team for over 15 years now. Starting with the process of engagement, finding Scotland's hidden entrepreneurs through to a variety of initiatives linking enterprise with social inclusion via work on enterprise indicators for Market Towns, Iain Scott has unrivalled experience in identifying and engaging with the hidden entrepreneurs of Britain.

The majority of projects have been action research, meaning that our range of methodologies have been tested and developed over the years. This has culminated in the unique challenge methodology which proved so successful for Bradford City Council in their recent LEGI bid.

If you would like more details on the process of engagement or the challenge methodology please contact us.
