Ontario Social Enterprises - Readiness for proposed common approach to impact measurement - Aug 1

14 Aug 2017

• Social enterprises are eager to work collaboratively toward a common approach that includes a data centre, an association responsible for shepherding the standard, a common process, a set of social and environmental indicators, and a set of organizational indicators. [...] • Feedback from social enterprises suggests than an effective data centre is crucial to the success of the rest of the recommendations. [...] A common framework of social and environmental indicators to enable reporting on the collective difference the sector is making Overall, social enterprises welcome greater guidance around social and environmental indicators as well as the opportunity to better communicate the collective difference that the community is making. [...] To ensure that the design of the common approach to impact measurement continues to come from the social enterprise community, consider drafting two or three possible futures for each recommendation and engaging social enterprises in discussions and simulations around these. [...] For example; : present two versions of the centre of excellence with different mandates and governance structures; elaborate different models of the data centre including a basic data repository with a simple online form and another with more functionality and flexibility; simulate a mapping to the SDGs that is more directive and one that is very fluid.
