I had the pleasure of working with Pia Wong and Marianna Lemus Boskovitch in June 2024, when they led an interactive workshop at BritCham’s ‘Unlocking Social Impact: The Best Metrics for Success’ event. This thought-provoking event explored how to integrate social impact into business strategy, using key frameworks, metrics and impact indicators. Participants learned how to identify where the gaps are on their company’s sustainability journey and were introduced to the Theory of Change. Pia inspired the attendees to think beyond outputs and look at how to measure long term outcomes at both community and societal level. I love Pia’s positive energy, she brings a huge amount of passion to this important topic!
Marianna was a trusted project leader, balancing the process and impact elements of a robust evaluation of public funding programmes. Marianna worked on a time-sensitive, large scale logic model development commission for all of the BFI’s National Lottery funding programmes. It was an enjoyable intellectual challenge to co-develop, and has set us up well for the next 10-years of high-quality evaluations. I can recommend her services as a skilled researcher and project manager who really understands the cultural and creative industries.
