Training - Results-oriented impact measurement
How do you demonstrate that your organization makes a difference? What do you want people to say about you, and how do you know if you are actually achieving that? In this intensive pressure cooker training you will discover how to make the desired impact measurable and visible. Not as a justification afterwards, but as a clear story that shows what you stand for. You will learn how impact becomes part of your strategy, with practical methods and applicable insights.
