ACMP Members: Hear Ed Cook, PhD speak tomorrow about 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Presenter: Edward Cook Ph.D. Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2024 Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm EDT (Live) Everything can be perfect in the analysis of a continuous improvement process. The data has been cleaned and prepped meticulously. The analytic tools are perfectly selected. The analysis itself is flawless. And then...the project dies in the conference room because of the executive decision-making process that flat out fails because too little attention is paid to practices that introduce bias into both the decision-making and change processes.

{Professional investors only} Please come and join me and the team at the LTAF Masterclass Lunch in Edinburgh, hosted by Natixis Investment Managers and Carne Group*. LTAF’s are certainly gaining momentum, but the jury is out as to whether they will be able to solve the real issue at hand which is getting a good allocation and spread of private assets into UK DC schemes to improve member outcomes. Whether you believe the LTAF is indeed the panacea, or not perhaps the silver bullet you thought it might be, join us for a thought-provoking lunch where we will: • Discuss the merits of private markets in DC and why this makes so much sense. • Hear from those close to the regulation, and how they see this evolving from their viewpoint. • And listen to LTAF experts - how they are structuring and managing these through the FCA for their clients.

It is not the way an indicator is worded that makes it quantitative or qualitative, but the way in which it is reported. THEREFORE.... If an indicator is reported using a number then it is a quantitative indicator. If it is reported using words then it is qualitative. 🔔Join my Monitoring and Evaluation Academy for more tips and practical help with your M&E issues via our monthly workshops and community of practice.

I love the lightbulb moment when I present actual economic impact analysis results for MWSBE programs and the fiscal rate of return on the program. Watching people nod as a I illustrate how MWSBE programs are tax generators for local economies never gets old! #MBE #SBE #WBE #EconomicImpact #SupplierDiversity #Advocacy
