Following is an ideal societal impact statement for an accredited business school. "XYZ Business School seeks to positively impact the health and well-being of our students, as well as the local and regional community, by imparting techniques for mindfulness that have been proven to lower stress and lead to improved personal and professional outcomes, particularly for those in the business world. We will do this through curriculum initiatives, scholarship that disseminates our efforts, and activities that draw students together at our university and throughout our region. We will measure our impact over time through annual surveys of students, and through citations and other scholarship metrics that tell us how far-reaching the impact of our scholarship is. We will measure our influence also through the number of external partnerships we are able to create to advance mindfulness as an important skill for business professionals of the future. We seek to reach 10,000 students over ten years with our curriculum and student activities, and 100,000 people through dissemination of our scholarship on mindfulness. We seek to partner with at least 5 institutions outside university education to grow our influence. In this impact statement the key elements are: WHAT (health and well-being) WHO (students and the local and regional community) HOW (through mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and increase wellness) HOW MEASURED (annual surveys of students, citations and other scholarship metrics, external partnerships) KPIs (10,000 students over ten years, 100,000 people through scholarship, 5 external partnerships).
