Pilotresultaten impactmeting voor sociaal ondernemers

Posted by Marlon van Dijk on Nov 2, 2016 12:34:12 PM

Ben jij een sociaal ondernemer en wil je aan de slag met impactmeting?

Kom dan naar de bijeenkomst op 30 november die wij organiseren samen met Social Impact Factory. Eerder heb je wellicht via dit bericht gelezen over onze samenwerking met Social Impact Factory: http://blog.sinzer.org/news/samenwerking-gemeente-utrecht-en-social-impact-factory

Betrokken bij de pilot zijn Specialisterren, Food for Good, I-DID_slow fashion, Taal doet Meer, Zuivere Koffie en Granny's Finest. Wij zijn erg verheugd over de ontwikkelingen en delen graag de resultaten!  

Voor de pilot is in de Sinzer softwaretool een ‘template’ ontwikkeld op 3 thema’s:

  • Arbeidsparticipatie
  • Sociale inclusie
  • Duurzaamheid

Op 30 november zullen we verder uitleggen én laten zien hoe je met zo’n thema aan de slag gaat. Bovendien staat er nu wat klaar waar jij misschien ook gebruik van kan maken in jouw impactmeting. Interessant? Meld je dan hier aan.

ABN AMRO Foundation gaat samenwerken met Sinzer

Posted by Marlon van Dijk on Oct 11, 2016 5:10:46 PM

ABN AMRO Foundation heeft sinds 2015 het programma ‘Partner voor de Toekomst’ geïntroduceerd. Medewerkers van ABN AMRO Foundation helpen – op vrijwillige basis - mensen van jong tot oud, bij het ontdekken, ontwikkelen en bekronen van hun talent. In 2015 organiseerde ABN AMRO Foundation 376 vrijwilligersprojecten en hebben ABN AMRO vrijwilligers zicht 10.045 keer ingezet voor sociale projecten. Deze projecten vallen in de volgende domeinen: kunst & cultuur, educatie, ondernemerschap en sport. In 2016 is educatie nog meer dan voorheen de basis geworden van het programma en is er expliciet een keuze gemaakt voor de doelgroep kinderen/jongeren in een achterstandssituatie.

ABN AMRO foundation wil starten met het meten van de maatschappelijke impact van de activiteiten. Op dit moment worden de volgende KPI’s gemeten: 

  • Waardering vrijwilligers
  • Aantal vrijwilligers
  • Score ‘Maatschappelijke Imago Monitor’
  • Bekendheid ‘Partner van de Toekomst’ (onder de Nederlandse bevolking)
  • Waardering ‘Partner van de Toekomst’ (idem)

Deze KPI’s zeggen nog niet in hoeverre de projecten veranderingen c.q. impact hebben gecreëerd voor de primaire doelgroep, de medewerkers van ABN AMRO en eventueel andere stakeholders. Daarnaast is het nu niet mogelijk om projecten met elkaar te vergelijken (benchmark) en de resultaten van de projecten bij elkaar op te tellen (aggregatie) om zodoende iets te zeggen over de impact van de foundation.

Dat is de reden waarom ABN AMRO Foundation gaat samenwerken met Sinzer. Consultants van Sinzer ontwikkelen op basis van een Theory of Change een impact template die gebruikt kan worden voor het meten van de impact op de verschillende thema’s en onderliggende projecten met behulp van een aantal output en outcome indicatoren. Begin volgend jaar worden de eerste resultaten (van de projecten die gestart zijn in 2016) verwacht.
