Effective Solution

As a social entrepreneur, your goal is to maximize your social impact by developing and scaling a solution that is as impact effective as possible. Managing and measuring impact is a way for you to learn what does and does not work, to identify the key drivers of impact in your solution, to make your organization more efficient and impactful, to attract funders, partners, co-workers, and beneficiaries. It places your enterprise on solid ground before it gets ready to scale.

Financial Sustainability

The tools and resources in this section will help you develop a strong business model that will give your organization the financial sustainability it needs to run and grow its impact-creating activities without running out of money. This is a key building block in the journey towards scaling the impact of your organization and achieving long-lasting and large-scale positive change for your beneficiaries and society as a whole.

Leadership & Team

The resources in this section will help you build your team, organisation and operations in a way that enables you to effectively implement and deliver your solution and value proposition during proof of concept and when scaling. We will be developing new tools and resources for this section during 2021, but in the meantime, you can find links to other resources we believe you will find useful.

Systems Change

By systems change, we mean working toward creating long-lasting change by changing the system which is either causing the problem, or restricting or limiting its solution. Systems change takes time, but the impact potential is enormous. We will be developing new tools and resources for this section during 2021, but in the meantime, you can find links to other resources we believe you will find useful.
