On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this month’s seminar, co-hosted with the Gradel Institue of Charity, we will be joined by sociologist and non-profit strategist Leah Reisman, and EY sustainability partner and climate strategy advisor, Ben Taylor, to discuss the powerful role consultants play in shaping how organisations think about and do impact, in the non-profit, private and public sectors. Moderated by Professor Marya Besharov, Academic Director of the Skoll Centre, the discussion will reflect on insights from Leah’s forthcoming book, How Consultants Shape Non-Profits (November 2024) and Ben’s extensive experience delivering sustainability strategies for global organisations. The seminar will discuss consultants’ pivotal and complex role in shaping the social impact sector, considering the power advisors wield, the problems that can arise in this relationship, and their potential to shape and scale the impact in the field.
