Could the assessment of business impact on society and the planet pave the way for a business paradigm that prioritizes social and environmental considerations, fostering genuine transformation? This constitutes the core aspiration and claim of impact measurement and valuation (IMV). This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) not only familiarizes participants with the fundamental facets of IMV and meaningful approaches for measurement and assessment, but also scrutinizes its ethics, politics, and standardization. In repsonse to IMV proponents’ calls to internalize and monetize corporate impacts, leading experts will engage in a debate around IMV, discussing conceptual issues of impact (I), current measurement approaches and challenges of measurement (M), and potentials and merits of valuation (V). In the latter part of the workshop, attendees will engage with these experts in an open-dialogue format to explore alternative narratives of change that extend beyond mere measurement. The objective of this PDW is to subject IMV to thorough examination and conceive of novel approaches that either complement or supplant organizations' inclination for management through quantification.
