We regularly get invited to speak at events on the work we do. In this section we provide copies of presentations about our research, insights as well as specific topics that we are invited to speak on.

what to expect from our presentations

As trainer and speaker at national and international events, Reana Rossouw does a fair number of presentations every year. Here you’ll find copies of presentations that demonstrate the crux of Next Generation’s contribution to the sector, as well as important issues for practical work in the social innovation space.

Next Generation developed the Investment Impact IndexTM to determine impact and return on investment of community/social investment programmes. Impact measurement is a crucial aspect of our work and you’ll find at least six presentations related to impact assessment. Knowing what works, and how and why it works, help us improve social investment programmes and strategies.

Other presentations deal with aspects of social innovation, social capital and community engagement.

If you need more information, take a look at our workshops and training pages to access our latest training brochure and training solutions to help you or your company.
