SIMNA: Impact measurement roundtable

SIMNA's peer learning and support learning community will create a space for those looking to enhance the capability of their social enterprise in measuring and managing their social impact effectively.

About the learning community

The roundtable is being established to create a safe space for peers to explore challenges, ask questions and test their thinking on social impact measurement. It aims to foster a supportive environment where social enterprise practitioners can learn from each other’s experiences, develop their skills and contribute to the growth and innovation of social impact measurement practices in Australia.

The sessions will explore key themes such as:

  • Developing and implementing social impact strategies.
  • Measuring impact across different organisational areas.
  • Overcoming challenges in impact reporting.

It has members from all different types of organisations, including non-profits, corporates, funders, social enterprises and local and federal government.
