Social Impact Assessment

Since 2012, ESSEC has developed a pioneering expertise in social impact assessment (SIA). It has emerged from a collaborative work between the Chair in Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Philanthropy Chair. 

Bolstered by this long experience, we now offer SIA training in French to actors from these sectors, through diverse face-to-face and online training sessions:

- "Initiation to Social Impact Assessment" training (2 days) with Kimso and Admical.
- Training-Acting "Social Impact Assessment" (6 days) with Kimso and Admical.
- MOOC "Social Impact Assessment" (4 episodes, free) on the leading online learning platform Coursera.

We also created and animated a customized training session for the Centre français des Fonds et Fondations, in partnership with the Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso: "Evaluating our impact to improve and convince" (3 days), on April 3rd-5th 2019 at the Fondation Saint-Pierre (Palavas-les-Flots).
