About this class
More Information
As a Responsible Entrepreneur, you are focused on making a positive impact for people and planet.

Your mission and your vision are all about bringing solutions of value to communities, doing no harm to people and planet and transforming systems.  

As you develop, test and prototype your idea, you need to talk about the impact that you intend to make, with funders, partners and potential customers.

As you're networking, pitching and building relationships, you know that you want to be able to talk about social and environmental impact in a way that doesn't sound like a greenwashing day-dream, unaware of the threats and opportunities in an increasingly uncertain world.

  • How do you even talk about impact if you haven't made any yet?
  • How do you share a Vision that you're in the middle of creating?
  • How can you convey the radical change that your solution intends to bring to the world?
  • How do you attract further funding when you don't know how to get people to step into the blue ocean innovation space with you?

You need a systematic process for exploring, visualizing and bringing to life the value that your solution will bring to tackle the climate crisis and sustainable development challenges, so that you can attract the funders, partners and potential customers who recognize the power of your solution, as you:
  • Talk in an authentic way, about your intended impact, with clarity on risks, uncertainties and opportunities.
  • Share a vision of possible futures to create meaningful connections.
  • Have a clear view of the potential road-map forward for turning your solution into reality.

​If you don't recognize the future impact that you intend to make for people and planet, you close the door on others recognizing that impact too.

In this experiential and interactive class, you will be guided through proven foresight and futures thinking processes which enable you to imagine, explore and describe the intended impact of your solution to:

  • Identify risks, uncertainties and opportunities.
  • Explore the intended and unintended impacts of your solution on people and planet.
  • Create scenarios of preferred futures which showcase the value of your solution.
  • Set out a road-map of how to make your impact.
  • Have conversations with funders, partners and potential customers around shared visions of change.

In short, you will have powerful insights into how your solution intends to prevent pollution, support biodiversity and protect resources to increase wellbeing as a sustainable business. This is the era of doing things differently to challenge the status quo.

Your key takeaways from this class are:
  • A map of the intended impacts of your solution.
  • A scenario of a Preferred Future describing your intended impact to use with funders, partners and potential customers. 
  • A pathway for integrating insights about your intended impact into your conversations. 
  • An informal script for responding to questions about your intended impact.
  • Recognition of where talking about intended impact fits into your entrepreneurial journey, demystifying it for you.
  • 3 actionable steps to take right now to achieve the positive impact that you want to make real.
Who should attend? Founders and Co-Founders of purpose-driven enterprises focused on creating solutions for people and planet.
