It's not enough to pursue impact and hope for the best. Businesses, governments, and organizations must measure and report the broader environmental, social, and economic impacts of their operations, investments, and policies. While it's well-understood how to assess and report financial returns, few understand how to report their social impacts with similar rigour and credibility.

Learn how with the Certificate in Professional Impact Analysis. Distinguish yourself in this fast-emerging and important discipline. Learn the best practices, tools, and methods to define, quantify, and report impact across the lifecycle of organizations, projects, or policies.
