The in-depth, in-person and inspired way to transform your business for good
The Impact Journey is a methodology and a mindset to help shape the way we think about purpose, sustainability, impact and business for good in general. It’s a robust, proven and well thought through framework and intensely practical set of tools. But it does take a bit of time to fully appreciate how it works to unearth its true value. That’s why this training requires more investment in terms of time and money.
But the results are definitely worthwhile. Here’s what others have said about the Impact Journey training…

Good for you. Good for your business. Good for Edinburgh.
We believe the power of citywide initiatives is in the sense of belonging that they foster. This feeling of belonging, experienced through embracing our shared sense of place and identity, cultivating connections with our business ‘neighbours’, and deepening our relationships with our local customers and communities, all leads to the creation of a supportive network of peers. This, in turn, galvanizes more transformative collective action and accountability, for the benefit of all people and the planet.
In short, the Impact Journey Training is an opportunity for you to build a brighter future for your business, for everyone it touches and for everyone in Edinburgh.
