It’s too hard! Make it simple!
We need to be able to state the impact
of our sector!
There are too many methods
and tools!
Measurement takes too much
time !
Every new funder requests new
measures!
Simple is hard!
Uniformity kills a standard.

Standards are communities, not documents.

Meet people where they are. Ratchet up rigor later.

We need a *flexible* standard, that is “owned” by a community of not-for-profit and for profit businesses. This community can continuously
develop and refine the standard.

• You are probably already using the Common Foundations
• To learn more, you can: • Download the document (free)• Attend in-person training ($)• Enroll in on-line training ($)• Attend the Common Foundations webinar

A flexible standard has many allowable indicators of common outcomes.
There are parameters within which there are lots of choices.
It is a roomy box. Lots of latitude, but still somewhat constrained.
The middle ground between one-right-way and anything-goes

An example of indicator mapping

# of people with improved employment conditions
progressing on a path to employment
Acquire skillsAttend training
Exhibit behaviorsAcquire experience
acquiring good employment
“good” is a flexible construct bound by research-informed
parameters
retaining or improving employment
Retention and improvement are flexible constructs
bound by research-informed parameters

An example of how indicators can “roll up”

Example based on 114 social enterprises
• Using SDG indicators: only 25% of the enterprise indicators fit or somewhat fit with the proposed uniform indicator framework.
• Using a flexible approach: 100% of the enterprise indicators fit within the headline indicators.
• Points of caution• 114 organizations is still a very small sample.• This first test was not co-created. We are now moving to co-creation.
27
This is going to take years……
• You should know• The standard will not tell you what indicators to use• Any (reasonable) indicator you choose will be okay• The data platforms will (one day, we hope) map them to the common
framework
• To learn more, you can• Participate in the co-construction of mappings (free)• Attend the Common Framework webinar (free)

We’re working on it….• We want all users of the Common Approach to have a voice in
shaping the Common Approach• There will be some sort of legal form with a governance model (constellation
governance).• We are getting there….
• That legal form will also be responsible for training and communicating the Common Approach.
• You can:• Keep reading emails, stay informed• Provide feedback when drafts are available• Get involved when there is a way to do so
