Knowledge exchange, innovation and employer engagement are high on the government’s agenda for economic prosperity and are now becoming major drivers for institutional strategy.

#bceadvBusiness as usual for us?

In order for BCE to become "business as usual", its processes need to be deeply embedded throughout an institution – beyond dedicated units or individuals who may be leading current activities.

Practitioners (current and potential) need skills, systems and processes to enable them to seamlessly integrate new and existing engagement activity as a regular part of what they do.

Internal management, support and enabling services need to be able to actively support a BCE-driven strategies in a consistent way across their operations.
