ALM Analytics conducted two randomised control trial (RCT) evaluations within the Business Basic programme of Innovate UK. These trials were designed to test innovative ways of encouraging small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to adopt existing technologies and management practices to improve their productivity. A review of the programme can be found here.
Leading to Grow
Leading to Grow (LtG) was a programme involving 15 business schools within English universities that was intended to support micro-businesses to understand the potential of digital technologies to improve their productivity. It planned to test the impact of having individualised help from an experienced business professional (termed, “Entrepreneur-in-Residence” – EiR) in addressing any barriers within microbusinesses to diagnosing digital technology needs and commitment to their implementation.
The original protocol was dropped and the report documents how the programme pivoted to provide emergency business advice during the Covid-19 pandemic.
IGL Working Paper 23/03
This RCT sought to test whether businesses could be nudged into using a cloud-based system to improve the efficiency of invoice processing. All participants in the trial were offered access to the system free of charge for a 12-month period, with a treatment group receiving weekly email reminders to make use of the system. In the event, few businesses made significant use of the new technology, with no detectable differences between the treatment and control groups. The lack of adoption was due to a combination of lack of need among those that signed up, delays in launching the platform, and the incorporation of similar functionality into leading accountancy software packages during the period when the trial was being carried out.
