Judith Rodin and Margot Brandenburg discuss the state of impact measurement.
From original article:
"Of course, as anyone familiar with the investment and finance sector knows, measuring returns is a complex business. It took decades for the traditional financial sector to develop robust ratings and reporting systems, and even then, there remains room for improvement. Add in the assessment of social and environmental returns, and the complexities increase dramatically. While it’s one thing to count the dollars, another is to put hard numbers on the returns to society of improved health care or the value of a healthy tropical forest. "
