The VUCA world we live in is one in which the science of WOPsy can make important contributions, including informing policy and the decisions of individuals, leaders, and organizations. However, few academic or personal development programmes include a course on this topic. This workshop is therefore designed to help you understand impact, and why it is so important for WO Psychologists to have a voice. Come and build awareness and skills to enable you to communicate your science and achieve impact.
Target Audience:
This event is designed for early and mid-career psychologists interested in expanding the impact of their work. It would be helpful for delegates to have a paper or project on which they would like to consider how to build impact as the workshop is designed to be practical.
Learning Objectives:
– Develop understanding of impact and how to create it in WOPsy
– Understand how the EAWOP impact incubator works & how it could support you
– Raise awareness of the key stakeholders for WOPsy and your work
– Develop your own impact strategy and action plan
– Reflect on next steps
– Build your impact network
Overview of Topics:
· What is impact and why is it important for WOPsy?
· Who are my audiences? Stakeholder mapping exercise
· How to reach stakeholders – Dialogues and networks
· Knowledge development and exchange – new Collaboration
· Dissemination – thinking out of the box to create more value for you and your stakeholders
