Social Impact Hub Playbook
A self-directed online education resource designed to build the capacity and capability of changemakers, purpose-driven organisations, and impact investors to mobilise capital and catalyse impact.
Drawing on our extensive experience in advisory services and education and the in-depth sector and technical expertise within our Professional Impact Network, the Playbook online learning modules build capability across essential topics regarding designing, measuring, creating and scaling positive impact.
Containing case studies of leading for-purpose organisations, tools, templates, and educational content based on our work on the ground with for-purpose organisations; the Playbook exists to increase your knowledge of impact subject matter, and empower you to achieve your organisation’s impact.
There are two types of Playbook modules: 101s and Deep Dives.
The 101s are FREE to access and provide a high-level overview of the essential impact topics, while the Deep Dives provide a more detailed exploration of specific aspects in the 101 modules.
In addition to accessing the modules, if you’re looking for more customised support we can build online courses or provide packages of support including education modules, mentoring, and/or advisory services for cohorts of enterprises. Learn more…
