When learning is tied to real-world impact, there’s no room for inefficiency. This session explores how mission-driven organisations design, scale, and measure learning in complex, resource-constrained environments—and what it means when learning is expected to change lives, not just metrics.

Speakers:

Andy Wooler, Founder – Brass Band Aid for Ukraine
James Ellerton, Competency Development Manager – Royal National Lifeboat Institution
Laura Shaw, Programme Manager – Cats Protection

NGOs and non-profits operate under pressure, across cultures and systems, with limited resources. Here, learning is essential and directly linked to outcomes. This panel shares how leaders approach learning at scale, balance speed with sustainability, and measure impact beyond traditional metrics.

Key topics:

• Designing learning for impact
• Measuring success beyond metrics
• Scaling across diverse contexts
• Balancing urgency and sustainability
• Lessons for corporate and public-sector leaders
