Week of Impact 2021 Results

by Rachael Grossman and Madeleine Barker

Third times a charm! The 3rd annual Week of Impact was a success, which is all a direct result of each of you. First, we would like to start off by saying THANK YOU. Each of you have played a part in making the Week of Impact such a meaningful event.

For those that are unfamiliar, the Week of Impact is an annual event hosted by CSR @ IBM Consulting (formerly GBS CSR) where account teams are encouraged to partner with their clients or internal teams and give back to their communities in any activity of their choosing. It is through the hard work of our people, strong relationships with our clients, and of course — the desire to give back to our communities that lead to each year’s results.

With the pandemic still looming, the majority of teams hosted their events remotely or virtually, similar to last year. A few accounts were able to meet in person, while following CDC guidelines. With around 915 participants (728 IBMers and 187 clients), we were able to make a meaningful impact.

We officially had nearly 50 accounts across every market and growth platform across IBM Consulting. People participated across North America to support each event. Some of the benefitting organizations included:

A big thank you to each of the CSR Leads and Executive Sponsors across each Market and Growth platform for helping to communicate, advocate, and continue to spread awareness to get as many teams signed up as possible.

Lastly, we want to recognize all of the IBMers who participated in the Week of Impact 2021. Thank you for making an IMPACT! (Those in blue denote Week of Impact Leads)
