SHARED MEASUREMENT AND SOCIAL IMPACT
Submitted by Tommer on July 26, 2009
New research supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation examines new web-based tools for sharing data and evaluation.
The social sector’s ability to solve complex social problems is limited by traditional approaches to grantee performance and outcome measurement. By focusing on individual grants and nonprofit initiatives, these measurement approaches neglect the reality that no single organization alone can solve the scale of today’s major social challenges.
This research highlights 20 examples of social enterprises that have developed innovative and coordinated web-based approaches to reporting performance, outcome and impact measurements over multiple social enterprises and stakeholders.
