**The Problem**Many UK SME's are struggling to survive and some have ceased trading as a consequence of not being able to develop and enact effective contingency plans to cope with the impact of Covid-19 on their operations.To confirm this, we conducted a series of surveys backed up with interviews with SME business owners. We found that:\* at the start of lockdown 93% of small businesses did not have a plan that could act as a 'route map' and inform their decision making and how to cope with changing circumstances\* those businesses that developed an effective plan remained viable as of July 2020\* some of those businesses that failed to plan for and accommodate restrictions have now ceased trading.**What are the objectives?**To conduct novel R&D to create a new business modelling, analysis and planning tools to enable businesses to sustainably recover from the impacts of Covid-19 and the continue to prosper**What research and development will we undertake?**Through the combined use of polling, facilitated virtual workshops and 1-2-1 interviews we will research the factors, actions and omissions that determine the difference between businesses that have bounced back and those that continue to struggle.We will develop a new business modelling system and associated algorithms which will analyse complex interactions between factors affecting how well businesses can sustainably recover from the impacts of Covid-19 and adapt to possible changing internal and external circumstances.Ideally by the end of the project we hope to have a market-ready product. However, with innovation comes risk. We expect, at least, to have created and fully tested a beta version prototype of the new Covid-19 Sustainable Recovery Tool comprising a versatile and adaptable 'branching' questionnaire, business analysis programme and resulting customer reports.**How and why is this innovative?**The current state of the art currently only acts as a triage tool for accredited consultants. The R&D will result in a new way of analysing business capabilities to reveal and help mitigate hidden issues that nevertheless exist and act to block or severely inhibit the ability of SMEs to recover and plan for the new normal.

** 问题 ** 许多英国中小企业正在努力生存，一些中小企业由于无法制定和实施有效的应急计划以科普新冠肺炎对其运营的影响而停止了交易。为了证实这一点，我们进行了一系列调查，并与中小企业主进行了访谈。我们发现：* 在封锁开始时，93%的小企业没有一个可以作为“路线图”的计划，并告知他们的决策以及如何科普不断变化的情况 * 截至2020年7月，制定有效计划的企业仍然可行 * 一些未能计划和适应限制的企业现在已经停止交易。目标是什么？**进行创新研发，以创建新的业务建模、分析和规划工具，使企业能够从新冠肺炎的影响中可持续地恢复并继续繁荣 ** 我们将进行哪些研发？**通过结合使用民意调查，促进虚拟研讨会和1-2-1访谈，我们将研究的因素，我们将开发一个新的业务建模系统和相关算法，分析影响企业如何从新冠肺炎疫情的影响中可持续复苏的因素之间的复杂相互作用，我们希望在项目结束时，我们能有一个适合市场的产品。然而，创新也带来了风险。我们预计，至少已经创建并全面测试了新的Covid-19可持续复苏工具的测试版原型，包括一个多功能和可适应的“分支”问卷、业务分析程序和由此产生的客户报告。这是如何以及为什么创新的？**目前的最新技术水平目前仅作为经认证的顾问的分类工具。研究与发展将带来一种分析企业能力的新方法，以揭示和帮助减轻隐藏的问题，这些问题仍然存在，并阻碍或严重抑制中小企业恢复和规划新常态的能力。
