What is the #ImpactWithPurpose strategy programme?
LLM, in partnership with B Purpose Bureau, offers a comprehensive one-day #ImpactWithPurpose workshop, followed by follow-up consulting and coaching, designed to clarify and optimise your organisation’s social impact strategy. This programme is a proactive step for businesses looking to blend their strategic goals with a larger social purpose. It serves as a unifying force to inspire and motivate employees to work towards a shared vision and collective power.
What are the objectives?
Our collaborative #ImpactWithPurpose programme aims to establish a long-term approach to corporate philanthropy by intertwining business strategy with social objectives. We aim to define your organisation’s desired outcomes and build effective partnerships with the social impact sector to help address a particular societal or environmental need. By doing so, we aim to contribute to relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while identifying strengths and potential growth areas.
Our proven methodology for sustainable success
The session calls together key decision-makers to comprehensively explore your organisation’s approach to social impact. It offers a concise framework for creating strong, rewarding, and sustainable partnerships with the social impact sector. It incorporates an examination of applicable SDGs, the envisioned future, and the path to achieving this vision.
