“Business cannot ultimately succeed in a society that fails.” - World Business Council for Sustainable Development What Sustainability legacy will your company leave behind? And more importantly, how will you know that you have reached your development goals? Sustainability is about ensuring that businesses are able to continue tomorrow by operating sustainably today. Because our fate as organisations, is intertwined with that of the society and environment in which we operate, we are held even more accountable for the successes and failures of our interventions. To this end, our goal at IQbusiness is to create a culture of accountability for social spend across corporate, government and NGO sectors. We enable our clients to become catalysts for sustainable societal transformation by assisting them to understand, measure and optimise the impact created by their organisations.

“Business cannot ultimately succeed in a society that fails.” World Business Council for Sustainable Development Our fate as organisations is intertwined with that of the society we operate within. Our success or failure, is as much a part of those that we affect through our business as those that affect us through their existence. The need to measure and manage our performance and impact is becoming key. However, the question remains, how do we measure the impact created for the society in which we operate? At IQ Business we strive to help our clients on their Sustainability journey, through our vast experience in the field of impact measurement, to understand, measure and optimise the impact created by their organisations.

Why choose this course Delivered by our practitioners with extensive participatory field experience, this is the leading M&E course for development professionals. Those responsible for project or programme-level M&E benefit from the latest M&E thinking and practice, including results approaches. This course will enable you to bring the learning into practice and to understand the difference between data, information and knowledge which is a key aspect to ensure strategic decision making.

The integrated social impact measurement and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) training are geared towards enabling organisations to think beyond just tracking progress to understanding the impact that is being created. This two-day interactive training workshop is aimed at delegates who have had limited exposure to social impact measurement and M&E as well as users of social impact measurement and M&E where a refresher of the underlying principles and processes are required.

Are you looking to broaden and sharpen your working knowledge of planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning? Our webinars aim to simplify the terms and concepts in a way that is concise, yet combining both theory and practice. At Southern Hemisphere, we conceptualise Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning as a cycle – beginning with Defining your project or programme, then Measuring, Learning and Improving. We have structured the webinar series around these segments.

Register and pay by 13 April for a 10% discount. The Qualitative Data Analysis course is a sequel to both the Qualitative Data Collection and Creative Data Collection courses, even though it can be taken as a stand-alone module too. It consists of a two day workshop during which participants are introduced to a number of analytical techniques, including inductive thematic analysis, appreciative enquiry, ethnographies, and case studies.
