“Alice in Wonderland” tells the story of a young girl who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantastical world. Alice encounters a series of whimsical characters and navigates a series of confusing and often contradictory events that challenge her perception of reality. As a social impact practitioner do you ever feel a bit like Alice? Sometimes feeling lost in a confusing and ever-changing world being torn between meeting community needs and the needs of the business. Being mindful of ‘social washing’ yet stakeholders want to see more resulting from our efforts, employees want more opportunities to engage yet how do we keep track? Such dilemmas and many others can keep social impact practitioners awake at night.
We’re in the world of social impact because we want to make things better. Its only natural that we strive to that end but with such a shifting landscape this is a constant challenge. We’re kept so busy developing and delivering our programs but we know there is more potential. If only we could get everyone pulling together? If only we knew what to fix first? If only we had more resources? Help is at hand with the Social Impact Compass
