Social Impact Workshop
Overview
Business schools are placing increasing emphasis on how they generate and demonstrate meaningful social value. This shift raises important questions about how social impact is defined, measured, and embedded in everyday practice.
The Social Impact Workshop offers a structured way to examine how social value is generated across education, research, and engagement. Using a purpose built Social Impact Canvas, participants work on their own institutional context to map current initiatives, identify gaps, and set priorities. Through facilitated input, institutional examples, peer exchange, and applied exercises, the workshop supports the development of a concrete, actionable plan. The focus is on making social impact operational and embedding it in day to day decisions and longer term institutional direction.
Target audience
Programme Directors, Associate Deans, Heads of Department, quality assurance professionals, and others with strategic responsibility for quality, sustainability, the SDGs, equality, diversity, inclusion, or related portfolios within business schools.
