SROI Masterclass: Measuring Outcomes
Wednesday, 30 May 2012 - 9:30am
One of the core concepts of SROI is that it is an outcomes-based evaluation approach. In many applications of SROI, stakeholders help inform outcomes which they define as changes in behaviour, feelings and attitudes. These “soft” outcomes may be just as valuable, from the perspective of those benefiting from an intervention, as more traditional “hard” outcomes such as reduction in criminal activity or increase in earnings.

SROI Masterclass: Creating Spreadsheets for SROI Modelling
Tuesday, 12 June 2012 - 9:30am
When nef undertakes SROI analyses, we use spreadsheets to hold outcomes data, assumptions and proxies, and translate these numbers into meaningful indicators of social change and value for money assessments. As these spreadsheets have grown increasingly complex, we’ve learned various tricks and protocols. This Masterclass seeks to share this knowledge with those undertaking their own process of extracting “the story behind the numbers”.
