Social Impact Assessment and Progress
What are social impact assessments, processes, and logic models?
Social impacts are assessed within PDCA cycles, which are used to achieve continuous improvement in operating efficiency.
The first step is to determine the ultimate goals (desired future outcomes) of the company/group/organization concerned. The strategy for reaching those goals is then presented using logic models and other tools. At each point, assessment indicators are defined as objectively as possible as the basis for monitoring the status and progress of projects.
Analysis of the results are used for decision-making and improvements relating to future operations, and in reports to stakeholders.
