Management Knowledge Transfer Partnership (MKTP)
Driving business growth through effective management expertise.
What is a Management KTP?
Management KTP (MKTP) is a programme part-funded by Innovate UK, designed to inject significant management expertise into companies in order to expand business capability, increase efficiency and enable lasting change and growth.
Like Classic KTPs, MKTPs link businesses with an expert academic team and a qualified graduate to collaborate and deliver a strategic project to bring about change, embed knowledge and deliver growth. Collaboration is key to the success of KTPs which have transformed over 12,000 organisations big and small and across every sector in the UK.
MKTPs aim to deliver transformational productivity improvement, identifying key, strategic management-based projects to increase business effectiveness.
Projects can be between 12-36 months, with 24 months being usual. Any size company can apply, but SMEs are particularly encouraged.
