Boeklancering van Impact by Design: zekerheid creëren in een complexe wereld

Impact through Design: Creating certainty in a complex world

Celebrate the launch of Impact by Design, a new book about impact. This book brings order to complexity and shows how to create lasting change. Join leaders, founders, and researchers. Discuss the central question: how do we create change that truly makes a difference and endures?

Berfu Ege Sobe, a prominent voice in the impact domain, is launching her book Impact by Design: Creating Certainty and Impact in a World of Complexity. She explores why many well-intentioned initiatives bring about little lasting change. She also shows what is needed to make impact sustainable. The Impact Compass takes center stage. This framework demonstrates that lasting impact arises when four dimensions converge: ecology, economy, society, and the individual.

Insight into lasting change

With examples from business, policy, and research, this book provides leaders, entrepreneurs, researchers, and impact makers with a practical method. Understand why change works. Apply that knowledge to your own work. Sobe will read from her book and engage in a conversation with Professor Karen Maas, Academic Director of Impact Centre Erasmus. Afterwards, you can ask questions and have your book signed. The language of the event is English.

Impact is a widely used but often misunderstood concept in the business world. The gap between what organizations say they are changing and what they actually change is widening. Sobe wrote the book that was missing. As an international consultant, she saw how well-funded programs sometimes had little lasting impact. Other initiatives, however, did bring about major change. The difference always lies in the same principle: impact only endures if an approach touches upon four dimensions. These are ecology, economy, society, and the individual.
