Launch: Mapping Wellbeing from Social Enterprises
Presented by the Social Innovation Research Institute and Centre for Social Impact Swinburne
Social enterprises combine a social mission with an enterprise approach. They are understood to generate wellbeing, but this is notoriously difficult to capture and measure.
This launch presents results of innovative mapping from a 3 year project looking at how social enterprises produce wellbeing outcomes. Researchers and practitioners discuss the role and potential of visualising social outcomes like social connection and capability to show impact. The findings are useful for social enterprises and work design more generally.
