SUMMARY:Help to Grow Management Alumni Event
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with Professor Jane Lynch\, Tiia will lead a session on embedding social impact within SME business models. The session will explore how social impact:\n\n  \n•  Strengthen organisational purpose and brand value \n•  Improve relationships with customers and public sector buyers and get more SMEs to bid for government tenders \n•  Support long term sustainability and transparency \n• Prevent social washing through evidence and measurable outcomes \n  \nSessions Outline \nMastering Grants: Writing Winning Bids \nLiz Flint from Flint Innovations will introduce you to the landscape of grants\, grant funders\, and the pros and cons of seeking grant funding for your business. It will then delve into innovation grants from Innovate UK in more detail and will offer hints and tips for writing compelling bids to Innovate UK and beyond. \n  \nEmbedding Social Impact \nTiia Sammallahti from Whatimpact will demonstrate a 5-6 piece framework for SMEs to build a more strategic approach for delivering impact. Delegates will be offered practical guides to deliver understand how to utilise all this in enhancing business value and gaining more customers – and of course the importance of monitoring the true impact to support further decision making and avoid social washing. \n  \nDesigning a Sales Strategy \nNigel Griffiths from Tailwind will help you design a robust sales strategy. Imagine if you could scale up faster and smarter. Understand how to maximise growth and increase value. Tailwind help and support ambitious leaders with scaling up. The workshop will introduce a four step approach to sustainable growth. \n  \nTaking the ‘difficult’ out of conversations \nThis 60minute practical workshop is about redefining ‘Nice’ so that we open those important conversations. It is about having the skills to shape our message empathetically\, in line with our own values\, in a way that preserves dignity\, and enables the person to have information crucial to their performance and personal success. It is about what we can do to repair – and even strengthen the relationship – if our message doesn’t land the way we intended it to and we accidentally trigger someone into conflict. It is about being the ‘Nicest’ leader we can be.

SUMMARY:Shaping Social Value Through VCSE Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we’ll explore how suppliers\, VCSEs and contracting authorities can collaborate earlier in the procurement process to create tangible\, contract-specific plans that back up KPIs with measurable actions. \nDelivering meaningful Social Value requires more than set targets. Many commitments rely on\, and are strengthened by\, partnerships between suppliers and VCSEs. Strong relationships\, transparent delivery processes\, and credible reporting pathways are essential to achieving genuine\, lasting impact through contracts. \nYet in practice\, challenges persist. VCSE partners can be difficult to identify during fast-paced bidding processes\, leaving suppliers to make assumptions. Contracting authorities often struggle to evaluate vague delivery plans and to distinguish realistic\, achievable bids. They frequently lack insight into the true outcomes their procurement generates. \nThis webinar\, hosted by Social Value Portal and whatimpact\, will introduce a practical\, end-to-end approach to overcoming these challenges. Together\, we’ll explore how suppliers\, VCSEs\, and contracting authorities can collaborate earlier in the process to create tangible\, contract-specific plans that back up KPIs with measurable actions. The discussion will also highlight how this partnership enables Social Value to be both deliverable and demonstrably measurable. \nThe session will include: \n\nAn end-to-end approach: how earlier and stronger collaboration improves outcomes\nPanel discussion: perspectives from VCSEs and procurement/bidding organisations\nAudience Q&A: your opportunity to ask questions and explore how these approaches can be applied in practice\n\nSpeakers: \nMelissa Milner\, Director of External Affairs and Partnerships\, Catch22\nAlison Watson\, Founder & CEO\, Class of Your Own\nTiia Sammallahti\, CEO\, whatimpact\nAnna McChesney-Gordon\, Chief Strategy Officer\, Social Value Portal
