Podcasts about social return

Catherine Manning joins us for a paradigm-shifting conversation about how we define, measure, and create value in our world. As Head of Impact Practice at Impact Reporting and Programme Director of Measure Up, Catherine brings a wealth of expertise in translating abstract impact concepts into practical frameworks that organisations can actually implement.The episode challenges our society's overreliance on financial metrics as the primary decision-making tool. Catherine eloquently argues that while financial accounting isn't inherently flawed, it fails to capture the full spectrum of value – our relationships, health, connection to nature, and overall wellbeing. "The judgment of how well you're doing comes down to the financial assessment," she notes, "and it misses out so much of what the purpose and value actually are."We explore how social value measurement is evolving beyond mere compliance with procurement requirements. Catherine shares her vision where organisations move from "ticking boxes" to embedding social value in their DNA – transforming it from a short bus journey to a meaningful ongoing commitment. This shift requires both structural changes in how we account for value and cultural changes in how we perceive success.The conversation illuminates the ground breaking work of Measure Up, which demystifies social value measurement by providing accessible, transparent tools for practitioners. Their innovative approach offers graded measurement levels (bronze, silver, gold) that acknowledge different organizational capacities while encouraging progress. "Part of the point of publishing this is to take the mystique away," Catherine explains, "It's your value, not the expert's."Whether you're a seasoned impact professional or just beginning to explore how your work creates change, this episode offers both philosophical insights and practical approaches to measuring what truly matters. By reimagining our systems of value, we open possibilities for a more equitable, sustainable future where economic activities serve human and environmental wellbeing rather than the reverse.Subscribe now to continue exploring how we can collectively make an impact that transcends financial bottom lines and creates meaningful, lasting change in our communities.Hi, I'm Heidi Fisher, the host of the Make an Impact Podcast.

Meet Maria English, the CEO of Impact Lab, a New Zealand-based organisation on a mission to make a positive impact in the lives of New Zealanders through their work with charities doing good work as well as funders.  Ostensibly their work is focused on making investments work for communities and enabling people to lead the lives they choose. We explore Maria's remarkable career journey, to her first CEO role as boss of Impact Lab, and their unique approach to social value measurement.   Maria's early career focused on academic achievement, earning a politics and philosophy degree at the renowned University of Cambridge and later an MBA at Stanford University. Utilising her studies Maria then joined Boston Consulting and experienced the pressures of being a business consultant and delivering value in the corporate world.   Maria's move to the purpose led work she does now was activated by an experience she had helping ‘first nation' communities in Australia. A life changing experienced which eventually led her back to New Zealand, her home, and the birthplace of Impact Lab.   Impact Lab is a family business of sorts, co-founded by Maria's father, Bill English, a former Prime Minister of New Zealand, and respected policy maker Emily Mason.   In 2019, Maria and her co-founders identified the need to understand, grow, and demonstrate the impact of frontline impact organisations and strategic funders. This realisation led to the development of Impact Lab's unique methodology and tools that connect social value measurement with decision-making. Their goal is to equip decision-makers with actionable information to enhance social impact.   Impact Lab employs the Social Return on Investment (SROI) model to measure impact. SROI compares the estimated social value of a program to its cost, quantifying the social impact in dollar terms that a program achieves for its participants over their lifetime.   As the CEO of Impact Lab, Maria faces daily challenges and continues to learn and adapt. Leading a small but impactful team and guiding the organisation toward growth has been a transformative experience for her especially considering her age and relative lack of experience.   Maria reflects on her passion for the work and points to the power of collaborating with remarkable charities and organisations and finding meaning and purpose in the work they do.   We talk about the challenges and benefits of working with her father within the same organisation its unique dynamics and she acknowledges the challenge of separating work from personal life and the importance of finding a balance.   Maria looks to the future of Impact Lab, with an aim of deepening its impact and building more connections within the sector to make data-driven decision-making a standard practice. Their goal is to see all investments in the community sector in New Zealand guided by data, leading to greater social impact and positive change. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-longbottom2/message

Nathan Stephens narrates his blog written for NIHR Dementia Researcher. In last month's blog Nathan spoke about a shift in the way we think about our economies, geared towards ‘social value'. This holistic concept of value reflects the complexity of the modern world and the challenges that face society today and tomorrow. Nathan is using a social value framework – Social Return on Investment – to capture and measure the impact of the Worcestershire Meeting Centres project, which to recap, is the scaling up of a community-based intervention (Meeting Centres) across a county in England. SROI is a mixed methods framework for measuring and accounting the social value developed by Social Value International. In this blog Nathan talks us through the stages and principles, Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-an-introduction-to-social-return-on-investment Enjoy listening?

Als bedrijven een overheidsopdracht uitvoeren moeten ze als tegenprestatie een bijdrage leveren aan een maatschappelijk doel. In de aanbesteding is vaak als eis opgenomen dat dit 5% van de omzetwaarde moet zijn. Daarmee komen mensen die langs de kant staan aan het werk of krijgen een leer-werk-overeenkomst. Dat heet social return on investment. Alle Achterhoekse gemeenten gebruiken zo hun inkoopkracht om mensen kansen te bieden op de arbeidsmarkt.
