Complete guide to Impact Entrepreneurship

Complete Guide to Impact Entrepreneurship

Impact Entrepreneurship covers the whole spectrum of impact created by businesses. As such, it provides a set of strategies, tools and a framework to ensure that businesses can create relevant, measurable and scalable impact. In regular social entrepreneurship, the value created may or may not be measured against impact indicators. This is because current models of social entrepreneurship fall short on impact assessment. And among other aspects, failing to address true impact creation, risks social entrepreneurship becoming a medium for conscious consumerism, which would negatively affect society and the environment.

The 3 key principles to create social impact at scale

There has been an incredible pace of progress over the last two decades in Silicon Valley, resulting in amazing innovation even for the most mundane needs. Yet in tackling some of the big challenges we face around the world, we have not been able to keep up. We haven’t been able to innovate, drive change and track progress nearly as fast. Problems are more dynamic and scaling more quickly than solutions. This means that if entrepreneurs don't take an innovative approach to creating social impact, we’re likely to fall behind.

Complete Guide to Impact Investing

For centuries we’ve relied on the same model to address the world’s most urgent social challenges. On the one hand, you make a living. On the other hand, we give back by paying taxes and donating to charity. But despite the tirelessly good work of philanthropy and governments, many economists agree that the combined efforts of these sectors are no match for the magnitude of the world’s social problems. Many economists also agree that having the power of the private sector has the potential to narrow the gap. This new wave is attracting an increasing number of investors. In this guide, you will find everything you need to know about Impact Investing

It doesn’t have to be though…The following guide will give you a clear answer on what impact measurement is, what it means for your company and how measuring impact can help you create the momentum for more impact — and business growth.

Impacto international is the media and education platform for the impact community. Our thought is that entrepreneurship and business must lead the way in tackling global development challenges – and that this positive leadership should be oriented towards creating impact in relevant, measurable and scalable ways.

Unfortunately, effective impact strategy isn’t always a priority for businesses with a social agenda. Big and small social enterprises, and corporations with ambitious social responsibility goals tend to fall short on impact strategy.

So, how do we fill in the gap?

Eliminate the biggest barriers to education: cost, time, and accessibility. Gather impact strategy expertise and the experience of impact entrepreneurs, while leveraging media platforms, social networks, and distance based learning tools.
