Communicating Social Progress - How to Use 'Theory of Change' Effectively
Event description
When it comes to communicating the impact of your organisation or program, a one-size-fits-all approach is a risky tactic. Theories of change have the potential to bridge the divide between the analytical and visual thinkers in your audience. Learn how to effectively use this communication tool by joining this webinar
Presented by Mike Davis, this webinar will be a practical, insight-filled session where you will learn how to create and use your own robust theory of change successfully to produce positive outcomes for your organisation.
Drawing on his experience as head of strategy at TaskForce Community Agency, Davis will outline the strengths and weaknesses of the method, the ideal contexts to use it, and the best ways to involve staff and clients in its development.
In this 60-minute session, Davis will help you understand:
- the building blocks of a good theory of change and how to assemble them effectively;
- how to run a good theory of change process and workshop in your organisation; and
- how to use a theory of change to influence positive outcomes with key stakeholders.
