Written By Simon Sharp

  • Quantified social return on investment and social value (NT50, NT15)

  • Validated depth of change across SME leaders who applied new knowledge to their business

  • Provided robust impact data for stakeholder reporting and programme improvement

  • Established a measurable framework for ongoing impact assessment
