What sets a great groundup leader apart from a good one? 🤔

A great groundup leader possesses both the skillsets 💪 and readiness to operate beyond their own groundup work, by taking action to foster collaboration within Singapore’s groundup community. 🙌

If this resonates with you, and you are a groundup leader (founders/co-founders/core team), who has been running your groundup and are committed to social causes through other means, the Groundbreakers Leadership Programme might just be what you need! 💥

Registration closes tomorrow, 23 October 2024. Interested applicants are still welcome to submit their forms or email us at hey@bagustogether.sg to ask for an extension.

Are you seeking ways to measure and convey the impact of your groundup’s work? 🤔

Explore the fundamentals of impact measurement at Intro to Impact Measurement, organised in collaboration with Build for Good Hackathon 2024! This is a rerun of the well-received workshop previously held in May 2024, and we’re bringing it back for those who are keen to better understand their groundup’s impact. 🙌

Session highlights:
📌 Understand impact measurement and its importance
📌 Learn to use the Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) model to measure your groundup’s impact
📌 Practice developing a Theory of Change for your groundup

The session will be held on Saturday, 16 November 2024, 2:15pm at the Open Government Products Office at Lazada One.

Register now ➡️ bit.ly/impactNov2024

Priority will be given to groundups that have been active within the past year, and with little to no experience in impact measurement.

Ambitions aligned with expertise during the second and final session of our partnerships series – Intro to Partnerships: From Strategy to Action! 💥

The session expanded participants’ perspectives on their groundup partnership strategies. They learnt from fellow groundup leaders and exchanged advice openly with one another.

Through a mentorship session with experts from Bloomberg, participants also received customised feedback on:
🔹 Refining their value proposition
🔸 Reframing their pitches and asks
🔹 Exploring innovative ways to contact relevant partners
🔸 Heightening outreach materials to capture key partners

A big thank you to all participants for making time to attend the session, we hope you’ve taken away practical insights! Thank you to talenTtrust for planning such a fruitful workshop and our mentors from Bloomberg for sharing your expertise on partnerships. 🤗

Stay tuned for more capability-building workshops coming your way in 2025!

November 2024 marked the beginning of an exciting journey for the pioneer cohort of our inaugural Groundbreakers Leadership Programme If you're curious to know what went down at the kick-off session, check out our Facebook and LinkedIn pages!

#BAGUSTogether #BAGUSGroundbreakers #Purpose #Leadership
In collaboration with Build for Good, BAGUS Together ran a second iteration of the Intro to Impact Measurement workshop in November 2024! 🎯

Our sincere appreciation to Joel Koh, Principal Consultant (ASEAN) at The Social Investment Consultancy for sharing your expertise and thank you to all participants of the Build for Good Accelerator Programme for joining us!

Key takeaways:
📌 Successful impact evaluation requires a whole team effort, not just the founder or the core team.
📌 The Theory of Change is not a static and linear process, but rather a 'living and breathing' framework that is constantly changing.
📌 When collecting data and justifying impact, don't just focus on collecting more data, focus on collecting the right data.

With this, we conclude our Building Blocks workshops for the year. Keep a look out for more events coming your way in 2025! 😊
