I'm excited to announce the launch of Social Value Manager - a new platform we've developed at Envoy Partnership. Over my 15 years working in social value, I've seen social value become mainstream. This has led to growth in the number of organisations working in social value, and an increase in the quality of social value work. It has also brought new platforms and tools to help organisations measure their impact. The challenge I keep seeing is that while social value has become more widespread, many of the available tools prioritise simplicity over rigour. The current solutions are often too constraining for organisations that take social value seriously and have a major on people and communities. They limit users to pre-set outcomes, indicators, and values, and fail to reflect the complexity of real-world impact. Our clients needed something that would let them put stakeholder voice at the centre, adjust calculations to reflect real-world nuance, and maintain analytical rigour while being practical to use. We found that none of the available platforms met our clients' needs. That's why we've built Social Value Manager. Our platform empowers organisations to assess and maximise their social value with precision, offering tailored calculations, streamlined data management, and sophisticated analysis tools that stand up to scrutiny. It's been genuinely encouraging to see how many people share our view on what's missing in the current market. Their support and input has been invaluable in creating a platform that delivers what leading organisations need. Follow our Social Value Manager page for updates. We have lots of exciting developments planned. And get in touch if you'd like a free trial! Special thanks to our partners Solutions Afoot and Caspio for their support. #SocialValue #Impact #ESG #SocialImpact #Sustainability

Sustainability communication is so important to get right, isn’t it? There’s so much more to it than signs and about turning off lights, separating rubbish and eliminating plastic cups. This is a good read - thanks Larraine for sharing. (and the article linked in Larrain’s post also links to Apple’s Mother Nature video which is just brilliant too if you haven’t seen it https://lnkd.in/d7GGttY8)

👇 why did we create Social Value Manager? A platform born from 15 years of experience and our clients' need for more sophisticated social value measurement. Read more below, and follow Social Value Manager for updates. #SocialValue #Impact #ESG #Sustainability #SROI

She saw a huge opportunity for Converge to capitalise in this space.' “Social value in IT is not as advanced as it is in construction,” she explains. “So we worked together with Thrive to consider what would be interesting for our customers and engaging for our staff, taking into account the maturity of the sector.” We're thrilled to help them on their journey. It's a win win for everyone. ✅ More competitive bids ✅ Happy suppliers ✅ Happy employees ✅ Happy customers ✅ Happy communities

🌍 What is Impact? In today’s world, “impact” is a buzzword that often gets tossed around without a second thought. But what does it truly mean to create an impact, and how do we measure its real value? In a new article on Gia, we dive into the complexities of impact. Key Takeaways: 💫 Impact isn't one-size-fits-all. A solution that works wonders in one community may fall short in another. Understanding local needs and conditions is key. ✨ Often, those with influence shape the narrative around what impact looks like. But are we considering all voices, especially those who are most affected? 🌟 Making a real impact goes beyond talking about it. It’s about backing up our claims with data, accountability, and sustainable outcomes. 👉 Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dh5_aD9M ✍ Written by Gigi Aulsebrook, Founder & Director of Gia Join us in unpacking these layers of “impact” and exploring what it means to create lasting, positive change. #DefiningImpact #ContextMatters #RealImpact #ImpactMeasurement #CreatingChange #WhoBenefits
