RISE Program Workshop Recordings

In response to COVID-19 and with the generous support of the Paul Ramsay Foundation and Westpac Foundation, we are running a FREE workshop series as part of the RISE program.

 

Are you looking to measure the impact your enterprise is having on its stakeholders? Do you want to demonstrate and articulate your impact to gain the confidence and support of customers, funders, and impact investors?

In this RISE workshop, Tiphanie Au from the NSW Office of Social Impact Investment (OSII) explores outcomes measurement and how it can benefit your organisation.

Many organisations struggle to execute efficiently on their strategies. It is easy to get caught up in day to day issues and lose sight of what is important, when so much is perceived to be urgent.

In this RISE workshop, Geoff Briggs from Social Impact Hub's Professional Impact Network guides you through an established methodology to better articulate your organisational strategy, engage team members in the process to ensure their alignment.

 

Are you wondering how to support your people to thrive in a hybrid world so that they achieve productivity and wellbeing, and can contribute effectively to innovation in a way that works for your organisation?

If so, you’re not alone. The pathway from today to the future of work is something leaders and their teams are grappling with across the social sector.

In this RISE workshop, Leadership Space shares tips and tricks to enable greater individual and team effectiveness. They introduce a mental model to support helpful strategic conversations as well as tips and tricks to enable greater team and meeting performance as we navigate the increasing fluidity of our online and face-to-face worlds.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Many organisations struggle to articulate their business model and be clear on how it creates value and impact for the people they serve. With all the uncertainties COVID-19 has thrown at the for-purpose sector, it’s never been more important to have a clear grasp on your business model to set your organisation up for success, maximise your impact and de-risk key business activities.

In this RISE workshop, Poppy Rouse from Social Impact Hub's Professional Impact Network guides you through the Social Lean Canvas - an established methodology to help you clearly articulate your business model.
