Third Sector organizations operate in the public space between the state, market, and community. They produce both social outcomes and reproduce important values like representation, democratization, quality, effectiveness, and sustainability. These values are important to various public constituencies like founders, donors, workers, volunteers, and beneficiaries, who may have different expectations and interests.
Evaluating Third Sector organizations requires considering both the impacts produced and how effectively values are communicated to constituencies. The values make up an evaluative framework to identify impact. This study aims to establish a hierarchy of values through public perceptions, verify the presence of important values through a qualitative survey, and analyze how economic/impact evaluations link to perceptions of different constituencies.

The document outlines the development of an evaluation plan for the Outillons-Nous (ON) knowledge transfer and exchange project run by the Coalition des organismes communautaires québécois de lutte contre le sida (COCQ-Sida). Interviews were conducted with stakeholders and a logic model was developed to represent the ON project based on its objectives, activities, expected results, and relevance, efficacy, and efficiency evaluations. The evaluation plan will be validated by stakeholders and used to evaluate upcoming ON sessions to document the project's impact according to the needs of participants and COCQ-Sida's mission.

Strengthening and Measuring Community Capacity for Sustained Health Impact_Sn...CORE Group
The document discusses measuring community capacity and its relationship to social and health outcomes. It provides definitions of community capacity that emphasize assets, abilities, and strengths. Measuring capacity is important because strengthening capacity is predicted to improve health outcomes and sustain positive change. The document reviews the limited state of measuring capacity globally and the lack of agreed frameworks. It presents models of how capacity interventions can lead to social change, health competence, and improved health status. Community mobilization approaches are meant to strengthen capacity and drive sustained behavior and social change.

This document presents the Common Welfare Matrix 3.0, which provides a framework for measuring an organization's performance according to key values of human dignity, solidarity, ecological sustainability, and social justice. It evaluates stakeholder groups such as suppliers, investors, staff, customers, and the social environment on various criteria from 0 to 100 or from -200 to 0. For example, staff are evaluated on job quality, just distribution of labor, advancing sustainable behaviors, and income equality. This helps organizations assess their impact and identify areas for improvement across environmental, social and governance issues.
This document provides a framework for social innovation strategies at the Earthfire Institute. The framework outlines four impact dimensions - network, social, client, and cultural - along with core values and strategies for each dimension. The strategies aim to integrate ecological perspectives across disciplines, enrich wildlife protection efforts, empower leaders, and organize the Institute as a learning community focused on human-wildlife relationships.
The document provides an overview of five popular organization design models: [1] McKinsey's 7S Model, [2] Galbraith's Star Model, [3] Weisbord Six Box Model, [4] Nadler and Tushman's Congruence Model, and [5] Burke-Litwin Model. Each model frames the key elements of an organization's design in a different way and has benefits and limitations for understanding an organization's structure. The document aims to help readers choose the right model for designing their own organization.
This document provides an overview of preliminary research and a proposed market analysis program to enable the launch of a venture accelerator and investment fund focused on poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa. It summarizes work completed to date, including expert consultations and background research. The vision is for a network of community-based businesses in Africa that are helped by local accelerators to achieve socially beneficial outcomes through commercial success. The proposed program will involve further primary research and planning to inform a subsequent feasibility study for the initiative.
The document discusses HP's i-community initiative in Kuppam, India which aims to create a self-sustaining economic community through the strategic deployment of ICT solutions. Key aspects of the initiative include establishing community information centers, a village photographer program, job training programs, and partnerships with local organizations. The goal is to holistically improve various facets of citizens' lives while generating business value for HP and its partners.
This document provides an agenda and overview for a workshop on evaluation. The workshop covers introductions, the current context around social impact evaluation, why evaluation is important for accountability, learning and capacity building. It discusses evaluation concepts and frameworks, the evolution of evaluation thinking to focus on learning and improvement. The workshop teaches how to develop an evaluation plan, and provides an activity for participants to apply the concepts. It aims to help participants understand how to design and implement effective evaluations.
This document provides an overview of the MIES (Mapping Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship) project. The summary is as follows:
[1] The MIES project aims to map social entrepreneurship and social innovation initiatives in Portugal through a multi-phase methodology. The goal is to identify high-impact initiatives, provide training and resources to promote scaling.
[2] The methodology involves interviews with experts, screening initiatives, in-depth surveys of selected initiatives, and presentation to an academic council. Selected initiatives are provided with research, training, and support to maximize outcomes.
[3]
The session provided an overview of evaluating networks and coalitions. It presented the work of two of the Rockefeller Foundation's grantees: GlobalGiving and their storytelling evaluation work, and evaluating advocacy initiatives and coalitions. Key aspects of evaluation discussed included measuring member and coalition capacity, capturing externalities and cross-fertilization, and developing appropriate outcome questions for inter-organizational relationships (IORs) in different contexts like emergency settings.
The document discusses a scenarios project conducted by Universities UK (UUK) to explore potential long-term futures for higher education in the UK. The project developed four scenarios through workshops and discussions with universities. It aimed to start a conversation around securing the long-term success of the higher education sector. UUK has created an online toolkit summarizing the project to help others conduct similar scenario planning exercises for strategic decision making. The document raises questions about implications for universities and how UUK can continue supporting strategic foresight work.

Bristol Museums Galleries and Archives has taken steps to improve how it fosters shared ideas and decision-making. Key events that led to improvements included celebrating the museum as a space for ideas, launching a new learning program focused on the city, and programming that challenges expectations. The most important characteristics for sharing ideas are having a focus on visitor needs, making visitors feel ownership, sharing decision-making, having flexible spaces, and strong community partnerships.

Thesis Corporate Excellence
This research builds on the premise that “appropriate measurement is fundamental for estimating the benefits” and investigates the hypothesis that it is necessary to measure public relations effectiveness in order to justify these activities.
Although the research and practice in the area of Public Relations have been in place since 1987, the accumulated academic and professional experience has not translated into techniques that could rationalize or improve the implementation of Public Relations activities. This lacuna is at the centre of the research conducted by Joan Cuenca, who based on already available models suggests his own hypothetical model of the global audience of Public Relations in order to measure the activity generated by Public Relations. The research attempts to come up with an answer to the following question: in what form is it possible to justify Public Relations activities?
