Description

The social sector is undergoing significant transformation. Efforts to deliver social change are expanding, and impact investing is growing, yet societal need far exceeds current capacity. Alnoor Ebrahim addresses a key challenge facing leaders: performance measurement. How can they track progress towards goals such as reducing poverty or improving public health? This book tackles three core challenges of performance faced by social enterprises and nonprofit organizations. It outlines four different strategies for managers to consider, including niche, integrated, emergent, and ecosystem approaches, and explains the types of performance measurement and accountability systems best suited to each. The book also examines the roles of funders, such as impact investors and philanthropic foundations, in enabling meaningful performance measurement. By exploring these challenges and solutions, Alnoor Ebrahim provides valuable insights for leaders navigating the complex world of social change.
