As David Grant sees it, the social profit sector needs to break its habit of valuing quantitative assessment over qualitative assessment. In a metrics-obsessed world, social profit organizations need to bring a new mindset to evaluation in order to achieve the actual societal benefits they are working toward.
Join us to hear from the author of the recent book, The Social Profit Handbook: The Essential Guide to Setting Goals, Assessing Outcomes, and Achieving Success for Mission-Driven Organizations. David Grant, former head of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, offers creative strategies for leaders of social profit organizations, funders, and social venture businesses to assess their work in ways that that help achieve future success, rather than simply judging past performance.
