Michael is a strong advocate of integrating local Universities and 3rd<br />

level colleges into his SME Collaborative Networks. Universities provide<br />

R&D facilities for SME product innovation, with the more progressive<br />

SMEs offering graduate employment in return. Institutionalising Graduate<br />

Management Teams delivers professionalism and energy to traditional family<br />

businesses. Regularly resulting in the doubling of annual turnover and<br />

increasing profitability to assure their medium term survival.<br />

Michael has coached many SME family businesses through the Collaborative<br />

Life Cycle, maximising the Innovation and Graduate Institutionalisation<br />

potential from Triple Helix tie up with local universities. From Initial Cluster<br />

formation, through to a performing Collaborative Network imbued with the<br />

confidence and both the technical and financial capability to now tender for<br />

major projects, that previously, as individual companies would never achieve<br />
