​Presenter: Bob Blattberg, Carnegie Mellon University

​Please note: The speaker for this talk will be virtual

​*This seminar is recommended for anyone participating in the McGinnis Venture Competition, specifically into the Social Enterprise Track.

​This workshop will focus what and how to measure social enterprise’s impact. In the “for-profit” sector, there are numerous measures used to assess the success of the organization such as profit, EBIDA and sales increases. Measuring non-profits is more difficult. Many non-profits use input measures such as number served or cost to serve. While important, it is necessary to also measure impact and outcomes. We will provide a measurement structure which focuses on inputs, intermediary measures and output and outcome measures. Examples will be provided showing how non-profits can compute these relevant measures.
