Scope means “a space or opportunity for unhampered motion, activity, or thought.” Elevate’s SCOPES means Shared Community of Practice ERG Series, which convenes ERG stakeholders to exchange insights and best/next practices. With more than one lens or view, we use the plural of scopes to connect a kaleidoscope of perspectives and experiences that reflect ERGs. The Elevate SCOPES gathers cross-industry ERG stakeholders, including ERG leaders, members, and program managers to share, network, and develop. The cross-industry ERG leaders who have participated during the year in Elevate’s ERG Communities of Practice Plus (CoP+) are given the opportunity to invite fellow ERG leaders, past, present, and prospective to the SCOPES.

Session 2: ERG Value Mapping: From Luxury to Life-Saving
The ERG Value Mapping Tool guides your ERG to hone in on its critical value of its key initiatives—and encourages your ERG to elevate its value to even safety (physical and psychological). How can your ERG push beyond what we call “best practices” and move toward “critical practices” that are foundational necessities for well-being? The “critical practices” will catapult the value of your ERGs for your key stakeholders.
