Leadership Movement
Our support of leadership challenges builds the foundation for further consideration of how the lessons we learn about leadership translate into supporting a leadership movement. Thus encouraging all Australians to reflect on leadership, build their leadership capability and contribute to the ‘greater good.’
In this sense we work at two levels: interventions to catalytically address pressing leadership challenges on the ground and a bolder, more ambitious agenda to support a national leadership movement focused on the ‘greater good’.
How do we do it?
Menzies
Leadership Forum
Our Programs
Impact Investment
Philanthropy
Collaborative Partnerships for Impact
To further the Foundation's objective of raising the profile and importance of 'outstanding leadership', we connect with leaders to enrich the dialogue and contribute to the leadership discourse
How do we measure Impact?
To continually assess our progress, the Foundation is in the process of developing an overarching impact framework to monitor the impact of our endeavours across the breadth of our work. In addition, to building robust evaluation an impact framework in each of the initiatives we support, we are also focused on gaining a deeper understanding of how many people the Foundation and our collaborative partners connect to purpose, and how trance formational this connection is. This data optimises the way we contribute to building a leadership movement that encourages Australians to act for the ‘greater good.’
The framework that we have put in place to monitor our progress is the Menzies Viral Co-Efficient Model. The viral co-efficient is the number of new users an existing user generates. This metric calculates the exponential referral cycle, sometimes called virality. As such, we are interested in understanding the number of people and organisations that the Foundation connects with, and in turn the number of people and organisations that our partners connect with, and so on, with the leadership movement for the greater good.
In this sense the Foundation seeks to understand:
// Transactional number: The number of people and organisations who are connected to their purpose, build their leadership capability, and contribute to a leadership movement for the ‘greater good’ (quantitative data)
//Transformational data: shifts in societal and political views of people and organisations that have been altered by their association with this leadership movement (quantitative and qualitative data) both sets of metrics are inter-related.
Each leadership initiative aspires to develop systematic leadership solutions. The success of this work is highly dependent on the number of people these initiatives connect with across the system and the transformational nature of this connection. We look forward to working with current and future collaboration partners to support the continuing development of robust impact and evaluation models which provide insight regarding progress in each of our leadership challenge initiatives and more generally, the viral co-efficient data Which provides insight into the impact we collectively have in contributing to the global leadership movement.
