Are you ready for Think Outcomes 2016?SIMNA is proud to convene the Think Outcomes Conference with the Centre for Social Impact (CSI) and the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY). At Think Outcomes 2016, you will explore best practices in the field of outcomes measurement, the challenges and opportunities in the sector and to your organisation – and, most importantly, develop an understanding of what change can emerge from the outcomes we measure.The newly developed program features guests Dr Don Watson and David Kalisch, Agency Head of the ABS, amongst a treasure trove of fabulous panel discussions and workshops. It should be fantastic, and we hope you can join us in Melbourne on 12/13 April. For more information and tickets, please visit the Think Outcomes website.
