SMILE Project Manager
UCL Advances, on behalf of UCL, has won a bid from the London Development Agency (LDA) to work on a project called 'SMILE' (Selected Management Interims for London Enterprises). There are many challenges that face promising small businesses. One of the most significant is that as a company passes through different stages of development, it requires different management talents. Frequently, existing managers need only to supplement their own expertise rather than replace it entirely but they lack the resources to do so.

The problem is, that without access to new management in some form, the challenges facing growing businesses can kill them. Project SMILE is a new initiative to address this problem.
