Original post:
The Impact at Work(shop) helps working professionals (or intrapreneurs, as they’re sometimes called) use their day jobs to make a difference in the world.
Want to start a social or environmental movement in your workplace? Every project has to start somewhere. But diving in head-first isn’t necessarily the most effective way to make change that truly lasts – taking the time to map out the direction of your project can make all the difference. Our hands-on Impact at Work(shop) gives participants the tools to implement change in any organization. Through discussion and activity-based exercises the workshop empowers participants to begin to develop projects scaled to their organization’s specific needs and challenges.
This workshop is being delivered by Net Impact Boston to members of KPMG’s Green and Community Involvement Teams. KPMG is graciously hosting this event and has extended the invitation to members of our Net Impact Community.
