Setting Your Alumni Program Objectives

Are you launching or refreshing a corporate alumni program? The first step to long-term success is setting the right objectives.


Too many alumni programmes struggle to gain traction because they lack a clear vision, measurable goals, or stakeholder buy-in. This guide helps you avoid those pitfalls by walking you through the foundational steps every programme manager needs to take.

Whether you're building a business case, aligning with internal teams, or defining what success looks like, this guide gives you the tools to do it with confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Understand the dual value proposition: what your business gains and what your alumni want.
  • Write a compelling vision statement that aligns stakeholders and energises your community.
  • Identify key departments and how alumni can support their goals.
  • Get practical metrics and examples to track progress and prove ROI.
