SIFTA  webinars are back and we are thrilled to invite you for the first appointment of the year on March 22, at 14:00 CET. Focus of the session "Impact Measurement & Management (IMM)".

🔎Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) is important for social finance organisations to prove accountability towards external stakeholders but also to enable their own organisation to improve its impact strategy over time. IMM is still struggling with a variety of conceptual, methodological as well as operational hurdles but a standardized process and more and more common indicators are emerging and are being used in the field.

What is the status quo of our own IMM? Where do we want to and need to become better? We will try to answer these questions together with Barbara Scheck, Professor for Entrepreneurship at Munich Business School. Her research focuses on the financing of social enterprises, impact and mission-related investing and impact assessment. During her Ph.D. she has developed the Social Reporting Standard, other significant experiences include consulting for a social venture capital fund and projects for development cooperation agencies on social entrepreneurship. Barbara was a member of the EU’s GECES subgroup on impact measurement in social enterprise and the Impact Measurement Working Group of the Social Impact Investment Task Force established by the G8. 

Barbara holds a Diplôme de Grande Ecole and MSc from the European School of Management where she studied International Business Administration in Paris, Oxford and Berlin and a PhD from Technical University Munich.
