Social Performance Management Tools

Social performance is about making an organization's social mission a reality. It is driven by three concerns:

  • managing for results
  • understanding client needs
  • reporting to external stakeholders

A social performance management system involves:

  1. Setting clear social goals and objectives
  2. Collecting information to monitor progress towards these objectives
  3. Using social performance information to improve operational and strategic decision-making

When appropriate, internally-generated social performance information can be reported to external stakeholders.

The Imp-Act Consortium provides a how-to” guide for managing social performance. The step-by-step guide outlines the key areas to consider in creating an action plan for an MFI. It covers:

  • Strategy for social performance management
  • Strengthening your information system
  • Using information to improve performance
  • Getting started
