Who this workshop is for
This workshop is designed for people who:
- Work in extension, advisory, RD&E, programme delivery or project roles.
- Are planning extension activities, programmes or projects.
- Want to move beyond one-off activities towards a more strategic approach.
- Need a clearer way to show how their work leads to outcomes and impact.
- Want practical tools to prioritise audiences, activities and effort.
What you'll learn
Clarify the change you want to support
Define the outcomes your extension work is trying to influence and what success could look like.
Understand who you need to reach
Use audience and stakeholder analysis to identify who matters most, what they need and where to focus your effort.
Map the pathway to impact
Build a practical Theory of Change that connects your activities, audiences, outcomes and longer-term impact.
Sequence activities for influence
Plan activities in a logical order, so each step supports the next and your extension work builds towards change over time.
What you'll leave with
You’ll leave with a draft extension plan, and a clear structure to continue developing it, that connects your activities with the change you want to achieve. You’ll also have more confidence explaining your plan to funders, collaborators and stakeholders, as well as using it to guide practical action.
