About the Event
The DVF Assessment offers a framework for evaluating the desirability, viability, and feasibility of innovations, essential for sustainable impact. Drawing on GSF's experiences, this session introduces the DVF toolkit as a practical self-assessment tool for evaluating innovations throughout their lifecycle and scaling processes.
We also introduce the Impact at Scale Toolkit - a series of tools, case studies, and guidance for education organisations to navigate their journeys to Impact at Scale. It centres around the DVF Assessment.
Join us to hear how organisations are using the DVF Assessment framework and tool to measure and achieve outcomes at scale, and how they are using the toolkit to bridge their gaps. The session, styled as a panel discussion with GSF Lab participants, will cover the DVF's application in monitoring, evaluation, and scaling, highlighting its benefits in guiding organizations towards impactful and sustainable solutions. It will detail the challenges, uses, and outcomes of the DVF tool based on real examples, thereby providing actionable insights.
