SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP An open invitation!

“Social entrepreneurship is often about a definition, try to stay away from that!.”

“Social entrepreneurs are a special kind, you

will recognize them. Profit wil

follow when you realise social

impact.”

Social entrepreneurs

grow against the economic trend, with 12% more employment!

“Whether I am a social entrepreneur? No we’re just an organisaton that adrdress a social problem with our business model. Some will call it social entrepreneuring, we just see

ourselves as normal entrepreneurs.”

The impact reached and the entrepreneurial approach is key. Everybody has right tot do this!

OUR IMPACT

IMPACT MEASUREMENT

We gain knowledge through measuring, but how do we find the implicit values?

Why start with social impact measurement?

IMPACT MEASUREMENT What we did: •  Start counting in excel •  Start a pilot with students

of the university of applied sciences

•  Organize an impact-event with different parties, methods and knowledge (1-12-2015)

•  Think again….

•  Try a new pilot: social impact measurement with Sinzer

How to start?

IMPACT MEASUREMENT

Goal of pilot 1st: Learning by doing! 2nd: We want to develop a tool/template to offer social entrepreneurs a quick start in measuring their own social impact!

IMPACT MEASUREMENT

Design of pilot: •  Cooperation between city of Utrecht and Social Impact Factory •  Define subjects •  Ask different expertise based on the subjects •  Ask social entrepreneurs to join

What’s in it for the social entrepreneur: •  a reason to start with measuring their own impact •  an impact measurement for free (except their time)

IMPACT MEASUREMENT Subjects: •  Employment and Participation on labour market •  Social inclusion (isolation) •  Sustainability (environment)

Next step: how translate these to the right indicators?

IMPACT MEASUREMENT Dilemma’s •  Which framework to use: SROI vs. SIF?

•  Pre-change measurement and post-change measurement

vs. ‘impactmeasurement’

•  How many stakeholders do you include? Employees vs. Customers?

•  How many and what kind of questions to ask? Follow theoretical research vs. making your own set of questions.

IMPACT MEASUREMENT Indicators and questions! •  Profile

Indicator: general information Question: Did the organisation help you in achieving a (personal) goal?

•  Employment and Participation labour market Indicator: new skills Question: At the organisation I learned a profession (for example: cleaning, baking, sewing clothes, etc.)

•  Social inclusion (isolation) Indicator: connection Question: Since I’m with the organisation, I feel more accepted by other people around me.

•  Sustainability (environment) Indicator: conduct of business Question: To what extent you value a sustainable conduct of business?

IMPACT MEASUREMENT Results will follow!

LAST DILEMMA!
