IMPACT ACADEMY
Empowering change through education
PEOPLE CREATE CHANGES THAT LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY
The LEGASEA Impact Academy helps organisations equip their people with the needed skills to achieve and sustain transformational impact.
​
We do this by building capabilities and changing day-to-day mindsets and behaviours through a broad range of techniques including digital and virtual programs, one-to-one session, digital learning, expert and peer coaching, reflection exercises, and simulations.
This approach helps individuals acquire new mindsets and skills, apply these in the context of real work and build new habits that drive and sustain lasting change.

Building a truly data-driven understanding of social impact
As part of the LEGASEA social impact strategy, we analysed the data and feedback gathered from our initial Signatories from the 2020-2021 period. It became clear there was a real thirst for knowledge, direction and support to ensure the external commitment of the Pledge resulted in aligned, data driven action. Given that this is a relatively new frontier for many in our industry, this provided the opportunity for us to highlight global best practices and access to the tools and processes required for deeply embedded change across our sector. The Signatory Impact Academy is the central learning and support hub for Signatory organisations as they embark on their social impact journey.
Signatory Fundamentals Course
The Signatory Fundamentals course is the first and has been developed based on these initial findings and feedback. As the name would suggest, it focuses on establishing foundations: the understanding of core concepts and taking action.
​
Each module of the course is designed around providing context, learning and step by step actions that ultimately results in a clear path forward for your organisation. This path forward will guide Signatories to create and identify unique and tangible actions, targets and outcomes specific to your stakeholders, goals and overall business strategy. The emphasis is on cultivating transparency and accountability throughout this journey and eliminate the risk of ‘sustainability, pink, rainbow washing’ both internally and externally.
This course is designed to be completed by the person or person's spearheading Pledge Signatory organisations social impact and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts (DEI). Dependant on the size and resources available within your company, this person could be the 'Assigned Senior' (more on this in Module 7), a single employee positioned to create change, or a group of employee's within the organisations employee resource group/s (more on this in Module 7).
LEGASEA collaborates with an incredibly diverse range of Signatories, in regards to sector and stage of their social impact journey. This course is designed with this in mind and has been structured so that value will be gained no matter your unique landscape, stakeholders or current status of your social impact strategy.
