Social Value in Decision-Making: Transform Your Organization
Join us on March 1st in conversation with Sean Wiltshire, CEO of Avalon Employment.
It’s a first–hand opportunity to explore how social value thinking can enable you to maximize impact.
In Sean’s words, placing SROI and social value thinking at the heart of Avalon Employment’s work transformed the organization. “We ask better questions, and we listen more effectively. The people we serve are experiencing much better outcomes as a result.” A decade ago, Sean took part in an SROI study to express the value of Avalon Employment’s work. As he describes it, the SROI process transformed the organization.
We invite you to join us on March 1st at 12 pm EST, to engage in conversation with Sean and hear first-hand how embedding SROI into the work of Avalon Employment has led to clients experiencing better outcomes.
