Gauge Training can be delivered in a variety of modes including directly to individuals, teams or organisations within the Third, Philanthropy, Public and Private sectors. This is delivered at two levels:

• Understanding and Measuring Value (Service level)

For participants this is likely to be Managers or Directors managing projects, programmes or initiatives on behalf of their organisation. This gives organisations or individuals an introduction to understanding change and equally beginning to measure their work and place values on what really matters.

• Embedding and Communicating Impact (Organisation level)

For participants this is likely to be Finance, Policy, Strategy, Quality or Chief Officers. This may include organisations striving to measure their value beyond purely economic and financial terms including the added social value and impact of their work with beneficiaries, communities and multiple stakeholders across the Third, Philanthropy, Public and Private sectors.

Gauge Reporting can be utilised on a retrospective basis (Evaluative) or on a future forward planning basis (Forecast). Gauge Reporting is used for the purposes of analysing the social value created by a project, program, service, initiative or core activity. This includes measuring its impact over a defined time frame within an agreed scope and budget.

Gauge Reporting is an advanced stage of a Social Value and Impact Measurement process by: 

• Analysing social, economic and environmental changes with stakeholders
• Measuring and valuing the outcomes with stakeholders
• Quantifying social, economic and environmental return in financial terms
• Verifying the impact of your organisation’s work

This provides individuals and organisations with a Main Report and Executive Summary of its impact as a result of having gone through the journey of the process in full.

Gauge Embedding supports your organisation’s journey towards fully deploying Social Value and Impact Measurement. This involves integrating measurement tools into existing systems and reporting mechanisms and aligning these within a decision-making framework matched to yourorganisation’s strategic management.

Gauge Embedding includes:

• Mentoring
• Software Solutions
• Systems Integration
• Performance Management
• Corporate Governance

This helps organisations take impact measurement a further step by mentoring key staff, management and directors towards customising and integrating software solutions into existing monitoring systems. The organisation is then enabled to have the systems in place to communicate the true impact of its work. This can be embedded both internally to staff, board or committee members and externally to stakeholders and wider audiences.
