Your tailored Social Value journey might include:
Our comprehensive Gap Analysis can come as a revelation – highlighting your social value position, quick wins and opportunities. This will identify the journey you would need to undertake to establish a leading social value position within the UK and reduce the emerging gap with competitors.
The analysis will align with current and emerging legislation, processes, best practices and the most legitimate evidence and financial sources, including National Themes and Outcomes Measures (TOMs) and the central government Social Value Model.
To realise big opportunity, you need an experienced guide. We’ll work with you to develop a Social Value strategy based on the findings from the Gap Analysis. This will set out your social value ambitions and objectives, the steps you’ll need to take and the governance and resources you’ll need to ensure success.
Your strategy will also align to emerging legislation, societal trends and client expectations, including the Central Government toolkit and pending social value requirements within your sector.
The depth and duration of your strategy can be tailored based on your business needs – from a simple 6-month plan to a 3-year strategic approach.

There are many reasons why organisations will seek accreditation. For organisations like yours, who are in the ‘Discovery’ phase, the accreditation process will help deepen your knowledge of social value and how it’s measured. Successful accreditation will also give you external verification of your value and an accolade to help showcase this externally.
