What they’re saying

Like many monitoring and evaluation (M&E) professionals I often struggle with the challenge of measuring intangible outcomes. The Social Return on Investment Masterclass has given me the confidence and technical know-how to measure at the outcome level. I consider nef consulting to be the leading expert on SROI: their Masterclasses provide a dynamic learning environment for practitioners who want to develop their technical expertise in SROI. — Nick Curley, Consultant – IMA International

About the course

  • nef consulting’s SROI training is facilitated by two SROI practitioners, and counts towards accreditation as an SROI-network assured practitioner
  • It covers all of the methodology and practice needed to carry out an SROI analysis. It combines a thorough understanding of the theoretical policy background to SROI and its long-term benefits, with a step by step guide to the SROI methodology backed up by a range of practical group exercises.
  • It is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to utilise SROI and its findings, and to undertake SROI analyses for themselves.
  • It draws on the extensive SROI experience of a large team of SROI practitioners based at nef, and incorporates learnings from nef's Centre for Well-being and Sustainable Commissioning work. nef also co-wrote the Cabinet Office Guide to SROI.
  • It is an Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Development course, which means that participants are entitled to a six month trial membership of the ILM.
  • We offer a series of follow-up SROI Masterclasses to build the skills of practitioners

Testimonials

Thank you for an excellent two days training. I really enjoyed it and found it very useful – a complex subject delivered in a very understandable and accessible way. I will be recommending you both, and nef consulting very highly.

Alexandra, London Community Resource Network

It was a great course and I thought the two of you did a great job at facilitating and making the topic very interesting. I really do believe the course gave me a greater insight into measuring outcomes and it has given me the confidence and the tools to carry out a basic SROI calculation on a project I am leading on. I have been inspired!

Anna, MacIntyre My Way

The training was excellent – I really appreciated having time to talk to others about how we were using the approach and your patience with my many and varied questions/comments. Good stuff.

Mandy, MB Associates

And once again, thanks for delivering a really excellent training course. There is no-one more critical of training than those of us that deliver it ourselves, and I was very impressed by how you handled complex material with a very diverse audience in terms of their understanding of evaluation principles. I have even overcome my Excel phobia!

Emma, Partnership and Organisational Consultant

Thanks so much, the course was great and I’ve come back to the office raving about it to my colleague (really, I did) and we’re planning on starting an analysis in the new year for submission to our funders at the end of summer. Many thanks once again.

Beth, Time Bank Coordinator
