Beyond Charity: From Reports to Returns
Friday, March 30, 2012
Session Description
Location: Seminar Room A
We know “charity” is insufficient to solve complex social problems: real impact requires integration of social, business and government solutions that show proven results without creating undue burdens on an organisation. Join us in a revolutionary dialogue about reimagining grant reporting, measurement & evaluation, market returns and communicating outcomes to better serve your business in a converging, global market. We will explore recent successes (and failures!), trends in measuring social value propositions and what we can do to drive a paradigm shift in the way we assess, measure and articulate impact.
