Our Commitment
This program provides you with a Social Impact Measurement toolbox and the expert advice on how to build or renovate your Social Impact Measurement strategy.
In this Professional Certificate Program, we will help you navigate the challenges of needing to report long-term impact, when you only have shorter term outputs; needing concrete measures, when faced with qualitative information and needing to demonstrate the business value – when the language of business doesn’t translate well to the language of feeding the hungry, housing the homeless or repairing an ecosystem.
Join this program now and acquire a superstar team to help you develop your credible, business aligned, peer reviewed, and actionable Social Impact Measurement strategy. There is no program like it!
