SROI is an approach to understanding and managing the impacts of a project, organisation or policy. It is based on stakeholders and uses financial value of the important impacts identified by stakeholders to identify what is important to them. SROI is an approach to understanding and managing the value of the social, economic and environmental outcomes created by an activity or an organisation.
It is a framework for measuring and accounting for the value created or destroyed by our activities – where the concept of value is much broader than that which can be captured by market prices. It seeks to reduce inequality and environmental degradation and improve well being by taking account of this broader value. SROI can be used across all sectors – for business, investors, commissioning, and for organisations with a social purpose.
DAY 1 is a practical, step-by-step introduction to the SROI process. We’ll begin with some theory but the process is best learnt by trying it, so trainees will learn how to develop an impact map – the heart of the SROI process – and explore the processes using an example appropriate to each trainee.
DAY 2 covers, through group exercises and discussion, stage 6 and issues that practitioners will need to demonstrate an understanding of if they wish to become accredited. Although designed with the assurance process in mind, this course is suitable for anyone wanting more than just an introduction to SROI. Current issues will be discussed, best practice and techniques shared and examples explored.
