Training - Results-oriented impact measurement
Discover the power of impact measurement and make tangible what your organization really adds.
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 actually achieve that?

Program
Impactmeting gaat over het zichtbaar maken van wat écht telt voor jouw organisatie. Niet alleen in cijfers, maar ook in betekenis. Wat maakt jouw werk waardevol voor je missie, je publiek, je partners? Tijdens deze tweedaagse training leer je hoe je impact inzichtelijk maakt met praktische technieken, inspirerende praktijkvoorbeelden en slimme vertalingen naar strategie en storytelling.
We sluiten de eerste middag af met een gezamenlijk diner, een ontspannen moment om ervaringen uit te wisselen met andere deelnemers. Op dag twee gaan we dieper in op de inhoud en werk je verder aan je eigen casus. Na afloop ontvang je het boek Vertellers, Geen verkopers van trainer Ken Veerman, zodat je zelfstandig verder kunt bouwen aan impact in jouw praktijk.
Zes weken later komen we online opnieuw samen voor een begeleide intervisie. Een moment van reflectie: wat heb je toegepast, wat werkte wel of juist niet, en welke inzichten neem je mee voor de toekomst?
Fun and educational training that translates impact measurement into something you can start doing today and is fun!
