THE COMMON GOOD BALANCE SHEET: A Tool to manage and measure your impact

WE NEED A CHANGE AND CREATE IMPACT

If you think that the current situation of the economic system deserves a rethink, you have come to the right place.

If you want your company to be a seed for sustainable and ethical growth, we can share models, tools and success stories that you can transfer to your day to day operations.

When you have an idea do they tell you that it is a utopia and that it cannot be done? In this course we can show you that it is closer and more possible than you think. With raised awareness and the right tools and methodologies, you can create a sustainable strategy.

Teaching methods

The course is made up of different modules and the course can be done in full or by module. Each module comes with a training certificate and is a “mini-course” itself. Through reading the Common Good Balance Sheet manual of the Balance of the Common Good, real case studies, live sessions with group and individual work with tutoring, participants learn to work with the matrix of the common good and receive comments on both their work and their progress. In developing the course, it was particularly important to us to create a good variety of interactive group work, individual work, self-study, assessment, questions, guided self-learning, playful elements, question-and-answer sequences, feedback, and interactive work.

We want to develop your project

YOU give the focus to the course that best suits you to tackle and face what is really important to you. So each participant tells us their needs and we want to adapt the individual exercises to your ideas and finish the work in a final project. We will start working on your project right from the beginning so that each module and exercise is one piece of the whole puzzle. We want to accompany you on your path to sustainability and make you a changemaker.
