Rapid growth in approaches to impact measurement and management (IMM) is causing many people connected to the impact investing ecosystem to wonder how all the initiatives fit together and how to apply new conventions, principles, tools and resources. This webinar offers clarity and provides some answers by walking through IRIS+, a generally accepted system for impact management.
Leticia Emme, Senior Manager, IRIS+ and Impact Measurement and Management at the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) will describe the main pain points in IMM and how IRIS+ seeks to address them. She will also provide a brief demo of how to use IRIS+ which will allow a close-up view of its various features.
Jane Reisman, a social impact advisor who has contributed to the development of IMM advancements will engage Leticia in an illuminating conversation to help all those involved in the impact investing ecosystem, including investors, entrepreneurs, academics and researchers, practitioners and other intermediaries, see how they can use IRIS+ in their work.
