Understanding Social Value and Social Impact
Social value is becoming more visible in procurement, partnerships and responsible business conversations, but organisations can struggle to define what meaningful impact looks like or how to evidence it. Counting activity is relatively easy; showing what changed as a result is much harder.
This session will demystify the difference between social value activity and meaningful impact. Businesses will look at what to measure, how to build credible evidence, the difference between outputs and outcomes, and how to communicate contribution without overclaiming.
The intention is to make measurement feel proportionate and manageable, while giving organisations a clearer basis for demonstrating impact to clients, partners and other stakeholders.
