Adopt the Social Profit Way of thinking

How can a public organization move from individual results to greater positive impact on society? And how can you clearly demonstrate the public value you create? The masterclass Public Value Creation provides you with practical tools to make your public value creation concrete and to enhance it.

In this three-day masterclass, you will embrace Social Profit thinking. We follow a structured approach: in the mornings, we provide you with theoretical and scientific frameworks to build a solid foundation in this field.

In the afternoons, the focus shifts to translating theory into practice. This is done using a thinking and working model that TIAS developed together with Whise: the Social Profit Canvas. You will apply this model to your own case, collaborate with participants from other sectors within the public domain, and learn from guest speakers who share their best practices.

Why the Masterclass Public Value Creation?

What value do you want to add to society? And how do you convincingly showcase it? Many organizations and professionals in the public and non-profit sectors struggle with these questions.

In the Public Value Creation masterclass, you will learn how to formulate concrete answers to these challenges. You will gain a solid scientific and theoretical foundation in Social Profit Thinking and be introduced to the "Social Profit Canvas" – a model that bridges the gap between theory and practice. This model, developed by TIAS and Whise, helps your team, organization, and partners clearly demonstrate the public value of interventions. It provides insight into the impact of your activities on society and supports you in making strategic, well-informed decisions.

What makes this program so strong and unique?

  • You will develop a strong theoretical and scientific foundation in Social Profit thinking.
  • You will learn to clearly articulate how interventions lead to the creation of public value.
  • As a supplier, you will learn to clearly and thoroughly explain why your organization undertakes certain activities and how these benefit society.
  • As an non-executive director, you will learn how to set clear frameworks and formulate precise indicators, enabling suppliers to contribute optimally to the public value creation you envision.
  • Using the Social Profit Canvas, you will approach your projects, services, and assignments from an integrated perspective. This forces you to focus on the core of your interventions/assignments and on outcomes that contribute to the intended public value creation.
  • The thinking and working model is applicable for the design, monitoring, evaluation, and accountability of your services.

How will this program benefit your organization?

With the insights from this masterclass, you will be able to make the impact of your team's and organization's actions more visible. You will work more effectively by setting clearer goals and communicating more transparently about the impact of your policies. This contributes to greater public support and provides a better understanding of the organization's added value.

  • The organization's objectives (what it stands for and what it doesn't) are more precisely outlined.
  • With more clearly defined objectives, the organization can better determine which resources to deploy and communicate this clearly to both employees and the outside world.
  • Employees will feel more motivated and proud because they can clearly articulate how the organization contributes to society.
  • Thanks to the provided discussion framework, employees can engage in better conversations about concrete implementation with colleagues, managers, leaders, and societal partners.
  • Greater public support is created as the organization can demonstrate to stakeholders why and how certain goals are being achieved.
  • Collaboration with partners becomes more effective and impactful because it is clear who contributes what from their area of expertise to public value creation.

Program Component Contents

Day 1
Making the value you want to add to society visible. How does that work?
On Day 1, you will gain insights into the issues and processes surrounding public value. We will also introduce the Social Profit Canvas. What is it, and what advantages does the model offer?

Day 2
Day 2 focuses on implementation. New insights from the Social Profit Canvas may lead to activities that are new to those involved. How do you engage your organization, partners, and the target audience of the intervention in this change? In the morning, we will present the latest scientific insights on successful change management. In the afternoon, you will learn to navigate the steps of the canvas through a case from your own practice. Together with other participants of the masterclass, you will reflect on the challenges and outcomes.

Day 3
The effectiveness of the Social Profit Canvas increases as the quality of the data you use improves. On the third day, you will thoroughly learn how to analyze available information. How do you measure public value, and how do you translate these insights into policy? We will also discuss the importance of adjusting and evaluating that policy. On this final day, we will delve further into practical applications, with a guest speaker who will explain how the canvas works through a case study and highlight the model's benefits. Finally, we will revisit your own context and build on the insights gained from your case on Day 2.
