How do impact investors measure impact? With Michael Brown, Head of Research at Wharton Social Impact Initiative

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 14:55:22 GMT

Michael Brown, Head of Research at Wharton Social Impact Initiative, joins host and Vice Dean Katherine Klein to discuss the complexities around impact measurement. Most impact investors report meeting or exceeding their impact performance metrics. But is this truly the case? Brown collaborated with Wharton PhD candidate Lauren Kaufmann on research that uncovers how it is common practice for impact investors to report impact metrics primarily to market, or publicize, their success – rather than to evaluate and understand where their impact may fall short. While the reality of impact measurement may not meet the rhetoric, Brown believes this is due to the challenges of measuring impact rigorously while simultaneously running an investment fund. He offers recommendations for measuring impact, and also explains why the field needs to get more comfortable with impact underperformance in order to learn and grow.

How Leaders Can Get Serious about Diversity with David Thomas, President of Morehouse College, and Robin Ely, Professor at Harvard Business School

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 13:15:05 GMT

David Thomas, President of Morehouse College, and Robin Ely, Professor at Harvard Business School, join host and Vice Dean of the Wharton Social Impact Initiative Katherine Klein to discuss the “business case” for diversity – the idea that the more racial and/or gender diversity you have in your organization, the better it will perform financially. This idea sounds good, but it’s simplistic and not backed by research evidence, Thomas and Ely explain. Even worse, it lets leaders off the hook in creating the conditions within their organizations for all employees to thrive. Getting serious about diversity requires committed leadership from the top of the organization and alignment with the organization’s values and practices.
