Impact Strategy and Measurement Masterclass
An in-house, on-demand masterclass delivered to your organisation or team to support its event legacy and impact strategy.
Your events have an impact whether you plan for it or not. This masterclass is about making sure it's the right one.
Currently, only a small number of destinations have clearly defined legacy and impact strategies, or use outcome and impact indicators to monitor their non-financial performance. As the industry evolves and competition intensifies, that gap is becoming harder to ignore.
This course, designed and delivered in partnership with #MEET4IMPACT, helps destination professionals:
-
Develop a legacy and impact strategy aligned with their organisation's mission
-
Understand and apply key impact measurement frameworks
-
Build confidence in reporting and communicating impact effectively
-
Engage stakeholders through dynamic, actionable tools and simulations
What will you learn on this course?
The Course is structured around four modules and an optional one:
-
-
Understand the foundations of social impact, including legacy, principles of impact management, and how events serve as catalysts for change.
-
-
-
Discover how strategic alignment and vision setting at destination, city, and national levels build internal capacity to catalyse sustainable impact.
-
-
-
Learn how to develop stakeholder strategies, foster an impact ecosystem, and implement impactful projects through effective planning and engagement.
-
-
-
Dive into frameworks, methodologies, and tools for measuring, analysing, and communicating impact in alignment with global goals and storytelling best practices.
-
-
-
Choose from targeted areas such as legacy strategy development, forming an impact ecosystem, SDG alignment, or building impact dashboards.
-
Who is this course for?
This masterclass is designed for DMOs and CVBs looking to upskill their teams to work collaboratively across departments and partner organisations to design legacy strategies and measure their business events' impact.
This in-house Masterclass is scheduled based on the client's wishes and faculty members' availability.
