Centre for Process Excellence and Innovation (CPEI), Judge Business School
The Centre for Process Excellence and Innovation (CPEI) is a research centre that brings together industry and academic partners to explore solutions on how to create sustainable competitive advantage through process and product innovation.
We define competitiveness as a combination of two capabilities:
The centre is based at Judge Business School. It is interdisciplinary in nature. We collaborate with the engineering and science departments, and also provide graduate teaching on the management of technology and innovation to students from engineering, science and technology professional practice programmes across the University of Cambridge.
Furthermore, the Centre has developed strong links with its industrial partners that commonly collaborate with CPEI researchers, as the Centre seeks to conduct research that is not only rigorous in its approach, revealing in its findings, but also relevant to management practice.
A key focus of the centre is to provide a forum where industry and academia can interact and collaborate through research, executive education and student projects. Our research seeks to develop leading-edge thinking and solutions that are of relevance to practice - following our overarching aim of "connecting ideas, technologies and markets".
