SVI partners with online learning platform Efiko to expand its reach
Efiko Academy, the first online learning platform dedicated to impact skills and competencies, works together with SVI to provide the accredited Social Value & SROI Practitioner Training in a highly interactive and practical way. “A scalable online solution to expand SVI’s reach,” according to Ben Carpenter, SVI’s CEO.
Pre-registrations are open as of this week!
Efiko aims to equip individuals and teams with the skills and abilities that help them excel at creating high and lasting impact. Efiko empowers every person to become a world-class Social Impact Leader by providing interactive and personalized online courses delivered by thought leaders and experts. In this way, it aims to accelerate the pace at which pressing societal problems are addressed. With Efiko’s online courses, companies get the opportunity to allow their employees gain a complementary skillset that will empower them to achieve their social impact goals faster and better.
Founders Timothy Lambert and Louis Wouters, who have both been working in the European impact investing sector, have noticed first-hand the lack of impact skills and abilities in the sector. “We understood that to help impact organisations live up to their full potential, people needed a place to attend interactive, inclusive and highly practical training opportunities,” says Timothy Lambert. “We can indeed not take for granted that people working with a social mission master the competencies that are so critical for its implementation”, he added.
A strong collaboration to increase SVI’s reach
The partnership will allow SVI to further spread the adoption of the Social Value Principles with the ambition to converge to one unambiguous approach to impact management. “Having a strong high-quality methodology, SVI is the perfect standard setter for a course on impact measurement and management,” according to Louis Wouters. Through an inclusive pricing strategy and by offering the course in various languages, Efiko plans to go beyond the Anglosphere. It is envisioned to reach a multicultural audience still before the end of the year. In times of growing interest in flexibility, self-development and continuously more remote work, an online alternative is essential. Efiko Academy and SVI’s collaboration opens doors towards a more digital approach.
“In a post-covid world we need new ways to connect and learn. We are excited to work in partnership with Efiko to build a global community of social value practitioners.
Join the movement.” - Ben Carpenter, CEO of Social Value International
Today, SVI invites everyone to pre-register before August 31st for the early-bird tickets (30% discount) and join Efiko and SVI on this online learning journey. Led by Dr. Adam Richards, SVI’s lead training manager, Efiko proposes 8 hours of interactive content, video-based courses, testimonials and case studies. The latter personalises the course, such that a Peruvian social entrepreneur doesn’t get the same content as a London-based impact investor. This highly practical course is a fit for both professionals in the field, as well as beginners, and provide the necessary frameworks and tools to set up a strong impact strategy.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to timothy@efiko.academy if you would like to contribute to the course by sharing inspiring practitioner insights on how to turn the Impact Management theory into practice and benefit from global visibility.

The Efiko Story
Impact organisations don’t live up to their full potential.
That is what Timothy and Louis found while working in the impact sector and helping hundreds of entrepreneurs with their fundraising. They often come with great business skills and are advised by experienced coaches who have walked their path before. But when it comes to impact, these entrepreneurs lack accessible support with an emphasis on practice, yet personalised with context-relevant content. That is why we are developing Efiko.Academy.

OUR IMPACT Our Impact “We partner with standard setters and experts to translate best-practices and leading guidelines in accessible, practical and tailored online trainings and mentoring sessions for impact professionals” Business skills are not a magic bullet Social Impact Leaders master a range of skills and abilities that span across disciplines. Business skills are certainly valuable, but not sufficient. Impact training should be more accessible Offline training offerings are often too expensive or hard to reach for many people who want to bring positive change to the world. “Heropreneurship” is counter-productive Pursuing an entrepreneurial path to achieve impact is an interesting one, but far from being the only way to achieve it. “Heropreneur” as the only model for creating impact. Our Impact goals Every course developed on EFIKO will comply with the following core design principles: Learn by doing We believe in the value of practice to achieve your learning goals. That’s why every course helps you walk the talk. Interactive Learning works best when its social. The courses we design invite you to interact with experts and collaborate with peers.
