Huber Social

“Impact measurement is so vital for strategy and resource allocation, yet can often be out on the back burner with limited resource available.” The Hauraki Opportunity, an initiative of Waikato Wellbeing Project, and many supporting partners, is a community co-designed measurement of wellbeing, designed to support decision makers, at all levels, to make important decisions for the current and future wellbeing of the community. The survey is open now for members of the region listed below.

When all voices are heard, measurement can create a world where everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential. This is the Huber team’s ‘why’ and below is what this can look like. Thank you for sharing Natalie Baigent.

Life does not adhere to well thought-out linear logic models. Measuring outputs and outcomes can be misleading about progress overall. One outcome may be achieved at the expense of another. Instead, life is more accurately understood as a complex system, where all elements interact and impact on one another. Measuring #socialvalue requires recognising the #complexity of life. In this article, featured on the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford blog, Georgina Camp covers key technical and ethical considerations for ‘fit for purpose’ social value measurement. Key points include: 1. #Classification vs measurement - we need to standardise how the measurement is done, not just how the impact is reported. 2. #Contribution - must be scientific not self assessed. 3. #Complexity - the opportunity to replace economic growth with #wellbeing as our new ‘system attractor’. 4. Combined data - As in medical assessments, we require #subjective data to understand the ‘symptoms’ and #objective data to observe the ‘signs’. 5. #Conversion - the limitations of financial proxies: try to put a dollar figure on your health, your family, nature and your relationships. How does that feel? https://lnkd.in/gw3Q825F To address these complications, Huber Social was joined by Oxford and other partners to create the Standards Australia ‘Measuring and Valuing Social Impact’ Handbook: https://lnkd.in/gjq2bX4H

Increasingly the NFP sector is being asked to 'do more with less'. To this aim, #socialimpactmeasurement offers an important strategic tool to both demonstrate success in achieving your purpose, as well as identify where to direct resources for the greatest impact. To support NFP leaders across Adelaide, Huber Social recently joined executive consultants Matt Walsh and Jena Mayne in hosting a breakfast on leading in Social Impact. This session was delivered by Huber Social co-founder, Georgina Camp and based on the Standards Australia, 'Measuring and Valuing Social Impact' Handbook. Key takeaways included: 1.     To lead in social impact is to recognise social impact is not a by-product or your organisation, but a critical #strategic input. 2.     A #wellbeing approach to measurement enables you to do more with less - providing a holistic framework to understand the needs and aspirations of people and identify priority needs to cross check your target outcomes against - ensuring measurement is not self-fulfilling. 3.     For measurement to be #fitforpurpose, the rigour must be commensurate with the potential consequences of the impacted people. Does your social impact measurement actually help you do your job? Or is it just another administrative burden? When resources are already strained, make sure you are getting the most out of your measurement. We would love to help you understand how. Please reach out: info@hubersocial.com.au
