Applying an Impact Framework Date: Monday 28 June Time: 10:30-12:00

At this webinar EngineeringUK’s Head of Research, Steph Neave, and Senior Research and Impact Manager, Mollie Bourne will take you through an impact framework model for engineering outreach. We will also share insights on how the framework has been applied to a current engineering outreach programme. You will then have the opportunity to collaborate with other Signatories and Supporters in facilitated breakout rooms where you will discuss questions and ideas about how the impact framework could be applied to your own programmes. We are looking to record the workshop and share with those who are unable to join us on the day.  Please use this link to sign up.

Business Development Toolkit from SWCTN

In the course of our work across new ideas in immersion, automation and data we have developed the components of our Protopying the Business Programme, and we have made some new tools to help companies think about their offering, their way of working, and how they communicate that to others. Find it here.

This set of tools are designed to help you to dig into some essential aspects of your creative business, for example: 

• understanding and creating a closer conversation with your audiences; 
• knowing your market and how you can get to it
• considering the different business forms possible and selecting the one that fits for you and your values
• establishing the right business model for you and your idea,
• aligning with your visions, values and culture to make the business that works for you.
