Next level impact measurement and management to maximise social value with Heidi Fisher

Vitalising Purpose: The Social Enterprise Difference in Public Services

It's often assumed that people across an organisation understand what impact measurement is. But impact is about much, much more than "putting fancy numbers in reports." Next level impact measurement and management maximises social value and today's guest explains how.
Heidi Fisher MBE has worked for over two decades in impact measurement and management. As founder and CEO of Make an Impact CIC she has supported thousands of social enterprises, from start-ups to those with over £1 billion in income.
She does lots of impact measurement and management work with NHS Trusts and foundations, and with social enterprises which work with them.
A qualified accountant, she finds impact measurement work "much more interesting and fun." We cover:

• Three essential ingredients of impact measurement and management.
• Five ways to embed impact in your organisation.
• Common challenges organisations have in measuring and managing their impact, and how to address these.
• The impact of better and more effective impact measurement and management, in terms of maximising social value, creating better outcomes for people, improving staff morale, involvement and wellbeing, and creating better value for money.
