WEBINAR | Dollars + Sense: Measuring Social Impact
Thursday 3 October| 12:10-12:55 p.m. NZT | 10:10-10:55 a.m. AEST
Recent government announcements have highlighted the use of social impact methods, such as Social Impact Assessments (SIA’s) and Social Return on Investment Analysis (SROI’s), to gauge the effectiveness of policies, campaigns, and social initiatives. Understanding the intended impact, mechanisms behind them, and how to substantiate these changes is crucial.
Choosing the right measures and standardising methods—such as monetising selected metrics, using evaluation rubrics, and developing case studies—is essential for an accurate assessment. A well-conducted analysis supports future policy development and social investment by preventing the adverse effects of poor evaluations.
This webinar will provide a foundational understanding of social impact measurement, its applications, what constitutes a robust social impact assessment, and how it can guide evidence-based decision-making in policy development and implementation.
What’s on the agenda:
- o Importance of Measuring Social Impact: Explore its significance across the public, private, and NGO sectors.
- o Ingredients for Measuring Social Impact & Social Return on Investment Assessments: Key components needed for effective assessment.
- o Quantitative Methods + Our Tips: Dive into the metrics, methodologies and our tips for completing an SIA or SROI.
- o Emerging Trends: Stay updated with the latest in SIA and SROI’s.
- o Live Q+A: Have your questions answered in real-time.
Who should join?
This webinar is ideal for individuals of all experience levels working within the government, NGO, or private sectors, seeking insights into Social Impact Measurement and Social Return on Investment analysis.

Stop Wasting Money on Consultants: How to maximise value from external experts
Extract full value from consulting services while safeguarding your budget—learn how to make every dollar count without compromising on results.”
In today’s environment of increased fiscal scrutiny, businesses and governments are under pressure to deliver more with less. This webinar is designed to empower decision-makers and internal teams with the strategies they need to make smarter, more effective use of consultants.
This candid conversation, from the owners of one of New Zealand’s largest consultancies (that’s us!), will give you the inside tips other consultancies don’t want you to know.
A candid, spin free, discussion covering:
- To contract or not to contract (and when not to): Identify when and where consultants can add value – and where you can avoid or reduce spending on consultants and contractors
- Commissioning Projects: Master the art of commissioning work that avoids “cookie cutter” approaches – get useful and actionable results, and secure other benefits like capability building
- Contracting and Scope Management: Discover best practices for defining clear, actionable scopes of work that align with your budget and objectives, preventing scope creep and additional expenses
- Cost-Efficiency Tactics: Explore practical approaches to negotiating fees, managing resources, and maximising the return on your consulting investments
- Case Studies and Real-World Examples: Hear about successful projects where consultants were leveraged efficiently. Also hear about some tragic examples of poor commissioning and management (and bad behaviour by providers) that led to poor delivery and extra cost.
Who should join:
This session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to turn consulting engagements into powerful assets for your organisation, ensuring every dollar spent delivers tangible value.
