Thank you Mr. Mike Clayton for explaining #SocialValue so clearly and thoroughly. 👯 Social value is the importance and worth of positive changes in people's lives and communities. 🚚 Projects can deliver social value through choices and actions that favor fairness, sustainability, and well-being. 📽️ Governments and not-for-profit organizations are increasingly seeking social value in all projects. 📽️ Building a case for social value based on its benefits can help project managers incorporate it into their projects. 🤪 Measuring social value requires going beyond traditional financial measures and considering non-financial evidence as well. 🇺🇳 The Tom system is an internationally used methodology for measuring social value, aligning with the United Nations' sustainable development goals. 💦 Including social value in projects benefits not only communities but also sponsoring organizations, attracting employees and fostering purpose-driven work. https://lnkd.in/e5jucf24 #SocialValue #SDGs #Projectmanagement #Impact #TOM
What is Social Value? And How Can You Measure it in Projects?

A big goal in creating the online and self-paced version of our Social Impact Measurement and Management Accreditation course was to increase accessibility and share our decade of learnings as widely and practically as possible. Receiving feedback like this from recent graduate Sally Pitson is solidifying that choice! "I recently completed The Social Impact Measurement course, and I must say it was an excellent experience. Here's why: > Clarity and Simplicity: The course content is delivered in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner. Concepts were explained without unnecessary jargon, making it accessible to learners of all backgrounds. > Self-Paced Learning: The self-paced format allowed me to learn at my own speed. I appreciated the flexibility to revisit modules and dive deeper into specific topics as needed. > Practical Application: As someone passionate about measuring the impact of our programs, this course was invaluable. It provided practical tools and techniques to strengthen our ability to measure wellbeing outcomes effectively. Overall, I highly recommend The Social Impact Measurement course to anyone interested in making a positive difference in their community. Kudos to the instructors for creating such a valuable learning experience!" If you'd like to learn more about the course yourself.

When thinking about social impact on projects, we often compare it to dropping a pebble in a pond - a series of interventions which ripple out, creating widespread impact beyond the red line. We've held a series of CPD sessions with some of our contacts this week to explore how this could be put into practice... Freddie, Will and Joseph's session with Tetlow King Planning explored the importance of creative engagement, whilst Ruth, Jake and Freddie's session explored social impact with the team at SRA Architects Ltd. Take a sneak peek through some of our top tips for maximising that impact... 🤔- 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 - 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝘆 🎯- 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹 🔄 - 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 📢 - 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 - 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱!

I am happy to launch my website with my first blog post examining the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement (distribution) in social impact. The summary: - Addressing complex social challenges demands a distributed approach, engaging diverse stakeholders in problem-solving. This method enhances understanding, fosters innovation, and broadens solution benefits, especially for global "grand challenges" like climate change. - Yet, distribution comes with challenges including managing stakeholder dynamics and group-think inefficiencies. Having effective structures with facilitative, transformational, and systems leadership are the key to harnessing multi-stakeholder engagement within resource constraints. Keep following for more discussions about how to make positive social impact! P.S (This post was adapted shamelessly from my MBA assignment) https://lnkd.in/eHaVuVzQ

I recall some time ago being on a panel where what I said to this given audience was considered a provocation. And what did I have to say? That value in the built environment extends beyond what we can put figures against. So I’ve read with a keen interest this article on a critical enquiry into added value and numerical measurement as it applies to social value. Ani Raiden and Andrew King make the case which is worth spending some time on. Key points include: - The concept of social value has evolved rapidly and legislation is a key driver - A critical engagement with the numerical measurement of social value as added value - While legislation and policy create the drive, the emphasis is on measuring social value, and added value, in numerical terms - The authors point out that due to the contextual approach, there can be variability in use of terms etc which can make it difficult for project partners to understand, agree and meet differing requirements (yes, yes and yes!) - 'Current policy is sending mixed messages about the importance of local specificity, while at the same time creating a framework of universalist requirements’ - That focusing on numerical terms tends to lead to a focus on activities that can easily be converted into figures (yep, and lots of reasons why this is a big problem) - And the killer point for me is that we need to ‘find a useful place for creating as well as assessing and measuring social value using qualitative methodologies and sharing powerful stories in addition to numerical data.’ - Co-creation, participative design etc are critical - Critical engagement with the SDGs - Who makes the decisions about what gets measured? And yes, I get the need to attach numbers to activities but it is more complex. In working with clients, I’m always clear that while it’s easy to put a number against some things i.e. no of appreticeships, local spend etc; this should not dictate activities being undertaken. And here we bring in the importance of using both quantitative and qualitative data, and applying all the necessary caveats to both. #esg #esginrealestate #socialvalue Gemma John, PhDTilly Crowhurst - another one you'll find of interest https://lnkd.in/eF-m-XYW
