Collaborating, consolidating and coalescing around measuring our social impact
Heather Esper, The William Davidson Institute
Join us as we explore ways to collaborate to better measure social metrics and demonstrate our individual organizations' and the broader ecosystem’s value proposition. The conversation will build off potential solutions to current measurement challenges developed by working groups at the 2013 BoP Summit and the 2014 ANDE Metrics Conference. In this session we will explore how we can work together to 1) create a learning community to share measurement experiences and best practices 2) aggregate existing data and conduct new research of organizations and their broader ecosystem’s impacts and 3) encourage dialogue to advocate for and implement new standards of practice that will facilitate more valuable and effective measurement approaches for all stakeholders. This will be a collaborative multistakeholder, cross sector action-oriented discussion.
