1. Understand the process and principles of SROI and how to apply them 2. Identify the scope of your proposed SROI Analysis 3. Name the stakeholders who have a role to play in the value your organization creates

Cost-Benefit Analysis REDF (formerly the Roberts Enterprise Development Fund) of San Francisco Genuine Progress Indicators New Economics Foundation (nef) 2003
11
It’s a method for calculating the impact of the work we do – the value we create It’s an approach that includes qualitative and quantitative approaches to tell a fuller story It is a tool to monetize the benefits – whether they be social, economic or environmental Cost Reallocation Increased Income Change in People’s Lives Decrease in carbon emissions
12
Impact (the difference made) Positive Outcomes Negative Outcomes Deadweight & Displacement Attribution Drop-off (used for projecting the SROI year to year) Impact = (Positive Outcomes – Negative Outcomes) x Deadweight x Attribution Impact = (Positive Outcomes – Negative Outcomes) x Deadweight x Attribution
13
Dis/Prove: Capture and report on the social, economic and/or environmental valued created by a program or policy. Improve: Use the tool to manage the program for greater impact. It can be used as a tool for: Strategic planning and improving Communicating impact Attracting investment or making investment decisions Managing activities
14
1.SROI is always time consuming, expensive and impossible without external support 2.SROI is all about the money 3.Organisations or projects can be compared using the SROI ratio
16
Value generated by an entire organisation or just a specific aspect/program Types: Evaluative or Forecast SROI is underpinned by principles
17
1.Involve stakeholders 2.Understand what changes 3.Value the things that matter 4.Only include what is material 5.Do not over claim 6.Be transparent 7.Verify the result
18
Carrying out an SROI analysis involves six stages: 1.Establishing scope & identifying key stakeholders 2.Mapping outcomes 3.Evidencing outcomes and giving them a value 4.Establishing impact 5.Calculating the SROI 6.Reporting, using and embedding
21
Scope
22
Decide on the parameters of your SROI analysis Purpose Audience Background Resources Who will do it Activities Period Evaluation or Forecast
23
Exercise: Scope Is this a forecast or an evaluation? (forecast recommended for training) Decide your activity to analyse (think small for training) Decide the time scale (1 year recommended for training)
24
The story of how you seek to make a difference in the world – the wider benefits created for individuals, communities and societies. This can be framed positively or negatively. “If we don’t provide housing, they will die on the streets” OR “If provided housing, homeless people can enjoy more healthy and productive lives”.
25
You believe that doing “x” will result in “y” - “x” is what you are doing, “y” is why you are doing it. Describe your Theory of Change for the initiative you will use in the training Think: cause – effect Write: If ………. Then……..
26
Stakeholders
27
Aboriginal people Children (< 12) Ethnic groups, immigrants Families Geographic communities Governments/tax payers Men Neighbours Offenders People living in poverty People with addictions People with mental health issues Persons with developmental disabilities Public at large Seniors (65+) Women Youth (12 +) Stakeholders are the people or organisations that experience change as a result of your activity:
28
Brainstorm a list of stakeholders: Who benefits (directly and indirectly)? Who invests? (various kinds of resources) Who has an interest in the outcome? Non-human beneficiaries?

30
Record on your impact map the key stakeholders you will work with for this training exercise. At a minimum, include an investor/funder and an end user.
31
At this stage, you are analysing what you think will change (or did change) for stakeholders in order to decide if they should be included or not. This MUST be verified by the stakeholders themselves. Consider how to involve stakeholders at every stage (this will have to happen outside our training sessions)
32
Review Checklist for Stage 1 (p. 99 of the SROI Guide) Determine the scope of your SROI Analysis Confirm your Theory of Change Involve others to confirm the key stakeholders for the SROI analysis Fill in Column 1, Stage 1 of the Impact Map Read pages 1 – 24 of the SROI Guide Read Back on Track case study
