For the public sector

Direct resources to generate the greatest impact.

A measurement framework for governments that see social value and financial value as two dimensions of the same decision.

As long as we only measure financial value, we'll keep making decisions at the cost of social, environmental and personal well-being.

To measure progress, we need to measure financial value and social value. Without both, one advances at the expense of the other. Just as longitude is to latitude, social value and financial value need to go together for the government to know if it's on the right path.

As an independent third party, SIC works with government to deliver rigorous and cost-effective social impact measurement that informs decisions, formulates policies and identifies service gaps.

If we are declaring success because we have a relatively high rate of GDP growth, why are the things we value going backwards? Children's wellbeing, warm dry homes for all, mental health services, rivers and lakes we can swim in. — Hon Grant Robertson · At the launch of the Wellbeing Budget

His answer: these things weren't valued by the government. Not being valued, they weren't measured. Not being measured, they weren't done.
