The Youth Progress Index is one of the most innovative tools for measuring the quality of life of young people because it reflects the things most important to their safety, health and freedom, and like all our indexes, it remains independent of economic indicators. This social progress index offers distinct and equally important insight that will be critically helpful in empowering the largest generation ever in their transition from childhood to adulthood.

Professor Michael E Porter at #WhatWorks2016socprog
On April 28, 2016, social innovators from 6 continents gathered in Reykjavik to join Harvard Business School Professor Michael E. Porter to identify solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems.
The conference was a watershed discussion of how countries including Brazil, Costa Rica, Iceland, Nepal, New Zealand and Rwanda and cities and regions such as Medellin, Colombia and the Basque Region of Spain have achieved standout social progress results.
Insight from the Social Progress Index, a powerful new benchmarking tool to connect decision-makers with fresh perspectives on social performance, anchored these conversations.
True Growth - Driving Economic and Social Progresssocprog
To effectively tackle the economic and social problems that challenge national stability and growth, both must be measured. The Social Progress Index 2014 focuses on a country’s social and environmental strengths and weaknesses, independent of their economic performance. Covering critical issues such as healthcare, infrastructure and civil liberties, the Index benchmarks country performance to drive forward national debate and help prioritize investment decisions.
Professor Michael E Porter of Harvard Business School delivered this presentation at Deloitte's London headquarters to a packed room of business and civil society leaders, and to a global audience via webcast.
Joined by Bea Perez of Coca-Cola, Sally Osberg of the Skoll Foundation, Steve Almond of Deloitte, David Sproul of Deloitte, and Michael Green of the Social Progress Imperative, Professor Porter delivered the case for measuring social progress, and how the 2014 Index and findings can be used to hone in on the true weaknesses of a nation.

How do we measure development? The Social Progress Index (SPI) was launched in 2013 as a holistic approach to benchmarking countries’ social performance, independent of economic measures. The SPI has been widely taken up on a global basis in evaluating national performance, and sub-national indices are proliferating at the regional and city level. In this lecture, Professor Porter will describe the insights that the SPI provides about the relationship between economic development and social progress, along with exploring the implications for development thinking and how the World Bank can best deliver on its “shared prosperity” goal.

Findings from the Social Progress Index: US Statessocprog
The Social Progress Index: US States is an objective, transparent measure that compares quality of life in all 50 states. The Social Progress Index is meant to complement, not replace, economic measures like GDP per capita and Median Household Income. These measures only tell half the story about what life is really like for ordinary Americans. The Social Progress Index™ highlights the issues and the individuals that are invisible when only looking at changes in the economy. The Social Progress Imperative, a US-based nonprofit, created the index to help local officials, businesses and community organizations understand how well people are truly living, how economic changes are affecting quality of life, and what improvements can have the greatest impact on society.

2017 Indice de Progreso Social Informe Metodologicosocprog
Aunque existe una estrecha relación entre el desempeño económico, medido por el PIB PPA per cápita, 1 y el desempeño en el Índice de Progreso Social, algunos países logran un nivel de progreso social mucho más alto en comparación con países con un PIB per cápita similar. Por ejemplo, Nepal logra un puntaje de 60.08 en el índice de Progreso Social, con un PIB per cápita de $2,312, mientras
que Yemen, con un PIB per cápita de $2,649 logra apenas un 43.46. El Índice demuestra que el crecimiento económico no es suficiente para el progreso social. Países y comunidades que quieren mejores vidas para sus ciudadanos necesitan ir más allá del crecimiento económico a la hora de diseñar sus estrategias de desarrollo.

2017 Social Progress Index Findings Presentationsocprog
The 2017 Social Progress Index launched June 21. Though there is a strong relationship between economic performance, as measured by GDP PPP per capita, and performance on the Social Progress Index, some countries achieve much higher social progress relative to countries with similar GDP per capita. For example, Nepal scores 60.08 on the Social Progress Index with a GDP per capita of $2,312, while Yemen, with a GDP per capita of $2,649, scores only 43.46. The Index demonstrates that economic growth is not sufficient for social progress. Countries and communities that want better lives for their citizens need to go beyond economic growth alone in designing their development strategies.

Empowering the Data Analytics Ecosystem: A Laser Focus on Value
The data analytics ecosystem thrives when every component functions at its peak, unlocking the true potential of data. Here's a laser focus on key areas for an empowered ecosystem:
1. Democratize Access, Not Data:
Granular Access Controls: Provide users with self-service tools tailored to their specific needs, preventing data overload and misuse.
Data Catalogs: Implement robust data catalogs for easy discovery and understanding of available data sources.
2. Foster Collaboration with Clear Roles:
Data Mesh Architecture: Break down data silos by creating a distributed data ownership model with clear ownership and responsibilities.
Collaborative Workspaces: Utilize interactive platforms where data scientists, analysts, and domain experts can work seamlessly together.
3. Leverage Advanced Analytics Strategically:
AI-powered Automation: Automate repetitive tasks like data cleaning and feature engineering, freeing up data talent for higher-level analysis.
Right-Tool Selection: Strategically choose the most effective advanced analytics techniques (e.g., AI, ML) based on specific business problems.
4. Prioritize Data Quality with Automation:
Automated Data Validation: Implement automated data quality checks to identify and rectify errors at the source, minimizing downstream issues.
Data Lineage Tracking: Track the flow of data throughout the ecosystem, ensuring transparency and facilitating root cause analysis for errors.
5. Cultivate a Data-Driven Mindset:
Metrics-Driven Performance Management: Align KPIs and performance metrics with data-driven insights to ensure actionable decision making.
Data Storytelling Workshops: Equip stakeholders with the skills to translate complex data findings into compelling narratives that drive action.
Benefits of a Precise Ecosystem:
Sharpened Focus: Precise access and clear roles ensure everyone works with the most relevant data, maximizing efficiency.
Actionable Insights: Strategic analytics and automated quality checks lead to more reliable and actionable data insights.
Continuous Improvement: Data-driven performance management fosters a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
Sustainable Growth: Empowered by data, organizations can make informed decisions to drive sustainable growth and innovation.
By focusing on these precise actions, organizations can create an empowered data analytics ecosystem that delivers real value by driving data-driven decisions and maximizing the return on their data investment.
3. “The capacity of a society to meet the basic human
needs of its citizens, establish the building blocks that
allow citizens and communities to enhance and sustain
the quality of their lives, and create the conditions for all
individuals to reach their full potential.”
