We offer a seamless service of applied research, consultancy and bespoke packages of career and professional development to a broad variety of organisations and stakeholders.

CIOD has an integral part in major collaborative projects, working with four other research centres to provide multi-disciplinary innovative solutions for organisations through the Innovation Futures project, and with the University of Sheffield to provide leadership and management development through the Innovation Leaders project.
The centre contributes to continuing professional development though its links with postgraduate teaching, the Innovation Leaders project, and support for our growing number of PhD and DBA students working on a wide range of business and management issues.
