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 />

• Advanced Certificate in Business Counselling at Durham University<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 />
pre-selection listing.
