Measuring Social Impact with Beedie Luminaries
“People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things because someone showed them it was possible.”
— Edmund Hillary
Designing a Social Impact Study
One of our most profoundly illuminating projects at Maitland Consulting has been the Social Impact Study with Beedie Luminaries.
A scholarship program truly unlike any other, Beedie Luminaries has transformed the lives and altered the trajectory for hundreds of students in BC and thousands of their students’ friends, families, and community members.
It was spectacular to have the opportunity to work Beedie Luminaries on this social impact study. They allowed Maitland Consulting the liberty and license to imagine a study and process that would authentically capture impact where it held meaning for a variety of their constituency.
How do we measure the unquantifiable? Maitland Consulting designed a bespoke study that would included a thorough discovery informed by the lived experiences of all who touched this program. The result was a study design that was co-created with the entire community and a response rate that exceeded all expectations.
