SROI Practitioner Training
UK London - http://socialvalueuk.org/home/social-value-international-ukWith the Social Value Act now law, the growing importance for tangible evidence regarding social and environmental value is now a bigger issue than ever before. This 2-day practitioner training is delivered by Social Value UK.
Charities and social enterprises have a continual concern to improve the quality of service they provide for thier stakeholders. Combined with a pressure to spend money wisely, it can sometimes be difficult to see where to innovate in one's organisation. Given the additional pressures of maintaining accountability and transparency to investors and board members, this can lead an organisation to rocky waters.
SROI, or Social Return on Investment, can provide a solution. It is a framework for measuring, managing, reporting and accounting for social value which engages with stakeholders and analyses activities through their eyes. This information can then guide an organisation’s strategy, inform difficult decisions about where to invest resources to maximise social value and even act as an evaluative tool to highlight areas for improvement.
This 2-day practitioner training provides a thorough overview of SROI from two main angles.
Day one is a practical, step-by-step introduction to the SROI process, beginning with some theory and going onto the hands-on development of an impact map – the heart of the SROI process – and exploration of appropriate real life examples.
Day two covers more in depth theoretical issues behind SROI including valuation techniques and overclaiming, as well as discussing examples of best practice at different levels of rigour and for different audiences.
All training is delivered by Social Value UK Accredited SROI Practitioners and is suitable for any experience level.
