" The Alignment Gap™: Closing the Gap Between Investment in Place and Outcomes for People

Billions are invested in regeneration, infrastructure and economic growth, yet the benefits do not always translate into better outcomes for the people who already live in those places.

In this webinar, Sharon Thompson, Founder and Strategic Advisor at Tilt 360 and Fellow of the Institute of Social Value, explores the Alignment Gap™: the space between investment decisions and the outcomes those decisions were designed to deliver. Drawing on lived experience, evidence and practical frameworks, the session challenges us to think about social value upstream, embedding employment, skills, enterprise and opportunity into investment and business-case design rather than relying on procurement to deliver them later.

The session will combine presentation, discussion and practitioner Q&A, asking a central question: how do we ensure investment transforms not only places, but people's economic trajectories? Attendees will leave with five practical questions to take into their next business case or programme review. The session builds on the thinking and evidence set out in Tilt 360's The Alignment Gap™ white paper. "
