What to expect?
The session will be an interactive workshop focusing on Impact Business Models. They are a core part of the current B Lab standards, and will remain a feature of the new evolved standards.
B Lab UK analysts will provide an overview of what Impact Business Models are, followed by an example of how we can assess the real world impact on stakeholders of implementing an Impact Business Model.
We will then facilitate a group activity where participants will work together to understand the impact of business models on wider stakeholders, how to track and measure outcomes, identify ways to improve impact and link this impact to wider sustainability principles. All of this will help to create impactful stories of real world impact!
We aim to focus on the realised impacts and outcomes that business models can have on stakeholders by taking a step back to consider what the impact is on a company’s wider ecosystem. For example, working directly with underserved suppliers earns credit in the Supply Chain Poverty Alleviation IBM – but why is this beneficial? What wider stakeholders does this impact?
You don’t need to be an expert in IBMs to attend, the session is open to all interested in creating lasting impact.
Why join this session?
You want to understand how to assess the impact of your business model on wider stakeholders and how to translate points in the BIA to real world impact.
