Five steps for boards to optimise social impact
Delivering positive social impact is what all social ventures are focused on achieving – but it won't happen unless you are clear on the basics of what you are aiming to change, who you want to support, how much impact you want to make and how you are going to deliver and then measure your success.
As a board director, trustee or member of the leadership team, there are some key steps you can take to help make sure your impact on the ground matches your aspirations and your vision.
Rebecca Mixter, a senior marketing team member at Buzzacott accountants, delivers this second in our new series of short ‘Social Business Sprints’. Five steps for boards to optimise social impact looks at your theory of change, your strategy, people, reporting mechanisms – and the ways you can embed impact into your processes and culture.
