* A handful of innovative organizations have developed web-based systems for reporting the performance, measuring the outcomes, and coordinating the efforts of hundreds or even thousands of social enterprises within a field.


"With this project, we aim to structurally nourish the discussion on a post-growth society by exploring different pathways for development, which can contribute to a profound transition towards social-ecological production. This year’s edition focuses on new forms of freedom and security en-route to a green transformation within a changing socio-ecological and geo-economic framework.
* Recognizing that no single initiative can solve major social problems, these breakthroughs offer ways to increase the efficiency, knowledge, and effectiveness of the entire system of interrelated organizations that affect complex social issues.


This year’s edition of the transnational project will be organised with the support of Oikos (Flanders, Belgium), Institute for Political Ecology (Croatia), Grüne Bildungswerkstatt (Austria), Green House Think Tank (United Kingdom), Green Foundation Ireland, Green Institute (Greece) as well as Ökopolisz (Hungary).
* Shared measurement systems can help us move beyond the fragmented and disconnected efforts of more than a million nonprofits by creating a new degree of coordination and learning that can magnify the impact of funders and grantees alike."

The focus for 2017 project activities will aim to address questions on how to adapt the economy, the labour market and the welfare state to this changing environment, while striving for ecological alternatives that allow a good life for all. Following the development of the framing paper, “Freedom and security in uncertain times – embedding the 4th Industrial Revolution”, an international congress will be organised in the second half of the year. Additionally, the project partners will organise debates in their respective countries to feed into the debate on new forms of freedom and security."

The traditional approach to measuring each individual grant and nonprofit initiative separately prevents learning and improvement, because no 2 efforts can be compared on a consistent basis. This research highlights 20 social enterprises that developed innovative web-based approaches to evaluate their impact across multiple programs and stakeholders.

Top Takeaways:

  • A handful of innovative organizations have developed web-based systems for reporting the performance, measuring the outcomes, and coordinating the efforts of hundreds or even thousands of social enterprises within a field.
  • Recognizing that no single initiative can solve major social problems, these breakthroughs offer ways to increase the efficiency, knowledge, and effectiveness of the entire system of interrelated organizations that affect complex social issues.
  • Shared measurement systems can help us move beyond the fragmented and disconnected efforts of more than a million nonprofits by creating a new degree of coordination and learning that can magnify the impact of funders and grantees alike."
