TAKING THE GUESSWORK OUT OF IMPACT MEASUREMENT WITH AVERY OUELLETTE
Last Thursday at 12 noon, Legacy friends and alumni congregated again at the Global Viewpoints Forum for an engaging Zoom talk by Avery Ouellette on “Taking the Guesswork Out of Impact Measurement”. A senior technical specialist with over 20 years of experience at the World Bank, USAID, and various consulting positions, Ms. Ouellette advances development results through data-driven insights and fostering collaborations between the public and private sector to address complex social and economic issues.
In the informative session, she introduced participants to the Global Impact and Investing Network (GIIN)’s tool IRIS, https://iris.thegiin.org/, a database of indicators to measure and evaluate social and economic impact in the language of potential funders and investors. In breakout sessions, participants discussed current projects, how individuals planning or running projects might employ database indicators in their community engagement or businesses, and what other tools might be useful for demonstrating an impact story. A half-hour networking, where community leaders and entrepreneurs on the call from around the world, got a chance to chat and mingle post-session! Missed the talk? You can find the full recording of the session on YouTube.
