Measure, Manage and Maximise Your Impact
A Guide for the Social Economy
Social impact measurement and management is a particularly helpful practice for social
economy entities to understand their contribution to society and potentially improve
the achievement of their mission. Impact areas that are particularly important for
the social economy, such as economic prosperity and employment, social inclusion and
well-being and community, are often the hardest to translate into quantitative metrics.
Current social impact measurement and management practices are largely shaped by funders
and for-profits with limited focus on the social economy. This guide offers a simple,
straightforward approach for social economy entities to measure, manage and ultimately
maximise their impact, and to prioritise the use of findings for strategic organisational
learning and improvement.
