May Guest Speaker

Dr Kate Riddell, Marsden Jacob Associates 
With a PhD in Political Science and International Relations from UWA, Kate joined Marsden Jacob Associates in 2022. After 12 years with the WA Government and more than 15 years’ professional experience in senior research, policy and strategy roles in government and research, Kate has developed, and provides evidence-based advice and recommended solutions across a range of social policy areas.

Social impact assessment and effective stakeholder management & communication are important to securing support for projects. When it comes to this we tend to focus on our immediate sphere(s) of influence, often unaware that a project’s impact can be more broadly experienced. A wide-angle approach that aligns anticipated project benefits with a client’s broader strategic goals and objectives, could enhance your success in securing their support. Kate will provide her insights on Centring your project in a bigger picture: a wide-angle view of your strategic impact
