Conference theme
How can impact assessment and leadership accelerate transformation and sustain
resilience in a world marred by adversities that require immediate, impactful solutions?
Our 21st century world is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Corporations, governments, and societies have always had to embrace change in order to operate successfully during
turbulent times. However, recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic suggest that change
alone is insufficient. Instead, leaders today must ensure that change is both agile and transformative so that adversities can be fought with resilience and effectiveness.

7 November: Abstracts due

The world is not short of adversities, ranging from climate change to global humanitarian crises.
Ensuring the health and resilience of the triple bottom line of prosperity, people, and planet
should become a non-negotiable top priority for all to achieve greater sustainability.
Against this backdrop, IAIA23 calls for empirical and pragmatic contributions that showcase how
impact assessment and leadership can accelerate transformation and sustain resilience in a worldthat requires immediate, impactful solutions. The rationale for this call is twofold: 1) what getsassessed has the possibility to get leadership attention, and 2) what gets leadership attention getsactioned.
