Presentation at the CASC/ANSER conference, Ottawa, May 27, 2009
For many social enterprises, the important issues of accountability and performance often get funneled into a discussion around metrics and measurement. Yet the measurement of the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is created by social enterprise is a relatively under-developed facet of the social finance marketspace. This session will present emerging approaches and methods to assess, manage and communicate the complexity of social and financial value creation. Drawing on Canadian and international examples, the potential contributions of these approaches to the broader debate around social impact measurement will also be examined.
Measuring the Blended Value of Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Ent...Karim Harji
Presentation to the Canadian Evaluation Society Annual Conference, Ottawa, June 2, 2009
Innovative evaluation methods and tools are emerging in the fields of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social enterprise. The focus of these innovations is the measurement of the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is created by CSR and social enterprise, which is of interest to social investors, “philanthrocapitalists” and governments.
This panel will summarize findings-in-process from ongoing applications in these spheres in Ontario, Ghana and other developing-world settings. There are advantages and challenges in applying “blended value” approaches that the presenters will examine. The panelists will also discuss the implications of these findings for the theory and practice of evaluation.

Social Finance and Impact Investing in CanadaKarim Harji
Presentation at OISE - November 21, 2012
• An overview of the state of social finance and impact investing across Canada
• An analysis of why Canada is well positioned to become a leader globally
• A participatory discussion on the key issues such as:
-- The perceived trade-offs between social impact vs. financial return;
--- How philanthropy can complement social finance;
--- Measurement of social value creation;
--- Legislation and public policy; and
--- Bridging silos between sectors and organizations.
In the past, Canadians relied on governments and non-profits to meet social needs, while leaving markets, private capital and business to deliver financial returns. This binary system is breaking down. Profound societal challenges require us to find new ways to mobilize ingenuity and resources for effective, long-term solutions. A social finance marketplace investing in social, environmental and economic returns.
Learn the benefits of starting a local or regional Community Foundation or Trust to create a pool of funds that can be utilized to support community projects and maintain the quality of life in your region. Community Foundations are local or regional entities with charitable status and typically carry the capacity to receive donations or bequests in the form of cash, real estate and securities.
Opportunity Development Co-ops direct local capital back into communities and simplifies and reduces the cost of investing. Examples of potential products include: purchase of a business that is being closed due to retirement of the owner; conversion of a vacant building into a business incubator or commercial hub; or building a seniors facility.

The UK social investment market has now reached a critical juncture. Although there is some evidence of coordinated market-building efforts, the market remains
fragile. By reviewing the development of the global microfinance industry, this handbook aims to equip practitioners in the social investment market with some of
the analytical tools and insights for making the tactical and strategic decisions which may systematically advance our sector.

This ppt is prepared as part of my participation in the International Conference on Crowdfunding.The ppt contains basic informations about crowdfunding and it's types and it's status by SEBI on India till January 2016. This ppt was prepared under the guidance of our professor MR.N.Manicka Mahesh. The ppt was compiled and the informations were sourced and collected by Miss.Rithvicca Manimaran.
Community capital is about empowerment of communities.
It is a set of strategies that allows ventures to raise capital from their ideal investors within their own community, allows anyone of virtually any economic class to invest in their community, and allows communities to build wealth though a cycle of investment, growth, profit, and reinvestment.
You may have the best idea in the world for social change, but if you're unable to raise funds to manifest your visions of grandeur, you're sunk. The good news is that there are some new, exciting ways to fundraise that didn't exist just a few years back, including social impact bonds, program-related investments from foundations, developments in donor-advised funds, and the entire field of impact investing. Join us to learn more about these promising developments, and discover how your cause can benefit from tapping into these resources.
Theory: What are the unique challenges of managing a social enterprise? How do social entrepreneurs manage for social impact?
Practice: How do you grow or scale up a social enterprise? How do social enterprises assess their social impact, and balance the various facets of “blended value creation”?

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
