About Scale Up Manchester

Join Workday and Workday Assist for an exclusive leadership breakfast with business leaders from across Greater Manchester’s most exciting small and medium-sized firms (SME).

We’ll dive deep into how AI, automation and smarter finance and HR systems are reshaping the future of work, exploring:

 

The myths and reality of AI

What SME leaders need to know about AI right now, and how they can use it to unlock immediate value in HR, finance and operations.

 

Redefining leadership in a hybrid workforce

How hybrid workforces (people and AI agents) will define teams and roles to enable greater productivity. Plus, how business leaders can manage this change effectively with the right culture, trust and upskilling programmes.

 

Manchester’s commercial edge

The local advantage – how Manchester is benefitting from lower costs, higher retention, leading AI infrastructure and transformative regional funding to help SMEs thrive
