Event Details
Recent years have seen an increased focus on impact measurement in business schools as stakeholders from students to local businesses, from faculty to the media and from alumni to investors hold schools to account for the difference they can make to the world around them. An increased interest in societal impact through the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has further raised these expectations. This symposium aims to help business schools maximise the relevance and reach of their societal impact through the sharing of ideas and best practice. Key takeaways: the symposium will… Explore definitions of societal impact and its potential scope Review the drivers for demonstrating societal impact, including SDGs, business school accreditations and rankings Investigate methods of measuring societal impact including metrics, KPIs and benchmarking Enable schools to develop strategies for maximising the relevance and reach of their societal impact Support the development of the school’s societal impact narrative, framing this in terms of reach and relevance Target Group: The BSIS Symposium is designed for those who are interested in impact assessment and specifically the societal impact of Business Schools. These include Business School Deans and Directors, Heads of Accreditation and Rankings, Directors of Impact assessment, Researchers in the field of impact and particularly societal impact, and Faculty engaged in curriculum design and development, learning and teaching. The symposium will appeal to business schools who are BSIS recognised, those who are in the BSIS process and those for whom BSIS is entirely new.
