Social enterprises ”need to prove worth”
Social enterprises need to do more to prove their worth, an industry expert has stated.
Allison Ogden-Newton, chief executive of Social Enterprise London (SEL), claimed that those working for such third sector organisations must be able to clearly demonstrate what they can do.
However - speaking at an Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations” conference - Ms Ogden-Newton pointed out that a lack of tangible evidence in terms of helping to monitor return on investment and quality of service is preventing social enterprises from achieving further growth, ThirdSector.co.uk reports.
"As a sector, we are good at telling people what we do, but we don”t have enough proof we do it better than anyone else," she stated, in comments that could interest those looking to improve their skills framework.
The SEL chief executive added that there is a "genuine desire" among public and private sector bodies to work with third sector organisations.
Meanwhile, Dai Powell, chief executive of community transport company HCT Group, recently stated that social enterprises are increasingly set to buy out and create joint ventures with private businesses.
