LBG : Corporate Citizenship : Community Partners : Customised workshop

Customised workshop

Workshops sponsored by an LBG member for their key community partners.

LBG members increasingly require their community partners to understand the business need to measure results and use the LBG model as a framework for reporting.

In response to this demand, the LBG for Community Partners workshop series was launched to help community partners to:

  • understand the LBG model and why businesses use it
  • monitor and report on existing projects using the LBG framework
  • use the LBG model as an internal management tool
  • utilise a recognised format for presenting potential projects

The customised workshops are designed for LBG members that would like to:

  • help community partners understand the importance of measuring outputs
  • equip community partners to provide evidence of project results for internal/external corporate communications
  • se the common language of inputs/leverage/outputs/impacts to create more effective partnerships
  • establish a common framework for monitoring and reporting

Workshop content will be tailored to participants’ needs in applying the LBG model and can include:

  • an introduction to the LBG model & examples of best practice in LBG measurement
  • a practice exercise to familiarise participants with the model
  • a session on applying the LBG model to participants’ current projects in order to:
    • examine gaps in relaying community benefits and impacts
    • develop a fuller reporting of leverage
    • encourage community partners to ‘pledge’ improvements in reporting
    • share best practice among community partners

Price: From £1750 per workshop plus preparation, any agreed expenses & VAT
