| Assessment Resource - Content | Impact monetization is an indispensable tool for making better management and investment decisions. It has a long history—as a cornerstone of social return on investment (SROI) and enshrined in the steps of cost-benefit analysis and regulatory analysis more broadly—yet is only now moving towards the mainstream. The rest of this piece walks through each of these points in more detail, first describing what monetization is and why we do it. It then describes some of the perceived challenges to monetization and how addressing them can help achieve our goal: better decisions about impact. |
