Consumo Colaborativo Social Return on Investment Like other outcomes approaches, SROI can help you manage and improve services and make your organisation more sustainable. It can also improve your relationships with stakeholders; stakeholder engagement is a very important part of the SROI process and is one of its real strengths. SROI is especially useful if the funders of an organisation require outcomes information in financial terms. How does SROI work? SROI is different from many other approaches in that it values outcomes by using financial proxies, so that they can be added up and compared to the investment made. This results in a ratio of total benefits (a sum of all the outcomes) to total investments. While the ratio is important, SROI is about much more than this. There is understandable fear that funders may use the ratio – and this only – to guide funding decisions. Who can use SROI? Implementing any new system can take time and resources. CES and SROI

Social return on investment Social return on investment (SROI) is a principles-based method for measuring extra-financial value (i.e., environmental and social value not currently reflected in conventional financial accounts) relative to resources invested. It can be used by any entity to evaluate impact on stakeholders, identify ways to improve performance, and enhance the performance of investments. A network was formed in 2006 to facilitate the continued evolution of the method. Over 570 practitioners globally are members of the SROI Network. The SROI method as it has been standardized by the SROI Network provides a consistent quantitative approach to understanding and managing the impacts of a project, business, organisation, fund or policy. Some SROI users employ a version of the method that does not require that all impacts be assigned a financial proxy. Development[edit] 'Value the things that matter' includes the use of financial proxies and monetisation of value and is unique to the SROI approach.

SROI 'open to misunderstandings' By Sophie Hudson, Third Sector Online, 10 January 2011 Third Sector Research Centre Measuring charities' impact through the social return on investment method can be unreliable and has limited uses, according to a new report by the Third Sector Research Centre. The SROI framework puts a financial value on work performed and results achieved, and calculates a ratio to show how effective a charity is. In its report The Ambitions and Challenges of SROI, the centre says the tool is being used increasingly by organisations that are competing for contracts or philanthropic funds, despite the fact that it has numerous problems. "Although aiming for rigour, the method used leaves ample room for not only judgement that makes it possible to inflate the value created when there is no assurance system used, but also for misunderstandings regarding how to interpret and use the SROI ratios," the report says. It can be particularly unreliable to use SROI to compare organisations, it adds.
From a Facebook group to an organization - the OuiShare Manifesto It all started in 2010, when Antonin Léonard was blogging about collaborative consumption in French. Little did he know that this was the beginning of the organization we now call OuiShare – a network of people with common values, which have finally been summarized in a manifesto. In its early stages, the OuiShare community was a Facebook group created by Antonin in April 2011 to connect people who believed in the potential of the collaborative economy and were trying to make it a reality. Shortly afterwards, they began to organize meetups every month in Paris at Next&Coworking or at Nathan Stern’s place to continue their discussions about the collaborative economy in person. It was then that Antonin felt he was on to something bigger: My intuition was that a new culture was emerging, a culture of openness, transparency, empathy and that this culture would be the foundation of what would become OuiShare. A mutual sentiment felt worldwide First meetups at Nathan’s place in Paris. Openness.
Social Return on Investment There are many things we value that cannot be easily captured in traditional economic terms. Conventional cost-benefit analysis does not consider anything beyond simple costs and price, which is why we have developed alternative tools to measure social and environmental impacts. Social Return on Investment is an analytic tool for measuring and accounting for a much broader concept of value, taking into account social, economic and environmental factors. Key Facts £1 invested in high-quality residential care for children generates a social return of between £4 and £6.10. £1 invested in alternative, non-prison based sentencing for women offenders generates a social return of £14.

Economía colaborativa, ciudadanía autosuficiente: No protestes, actúa La economía colaborativa está transformando nuestra sociedad, porque está dando a las personas las herramientas para organizarse y dejar de ser actores pasivos. Según Javi Creus, uno de los principales líderes de la economía colaborativa en España, “el ciudadano colaborativo es una persona que sin pedir perdón ni permiso activa lo que tiene, lo que sabe o lo que sabe hacer en un círculo de confianza”. El empoderamiento de las personas, el futuro del trabajo y la necesidad de regular la economía colaborativa fueron tres de las principales materias de discusión en la segunda edición del OuiShare Fest, el evento más importante sobre la economía colaborativa, que se celebró entre el 5 y el 7 de mayo en el Cabaret Sauvage de París. Bajo el lema “la Era de las Comunidades”, la cita reunió a un millar de investigadores, empresas y emprendedores en torno a la economía colaborativa. La nueva sociedad empoderada El epicentro de este modelo no es el dinero, sino la confianza.
