Why Impact Management is the Future of Social Economy Leadership

Effective leadership in the social economy increasingly demands more than passion—it requires data, tools, and strategic clarity. The SETS course on “Social Economy and Impact Management” prepares SEO professionals to lead with impact, equipping them with the methodologies and mindset to measure and maximise social value.

Participants are introduced to tools like Theory of Change, Social Return on Investment (SROI), and stakeholder mapping. These aren’t just theoretical concepts, they’re applied through case studies, simulations, and real-world scenarios drawn from SEOs across Europe.

A key takeaway for learners is the ability to design dual value creation models, balancing economic and social goals. The course also explores impact reporting and how to communicate value to funders, policymakers, and communities.

The curriculum is particularly suited to consultants, foundation programme managers, and generalist service providers looking to upskill. It builds a shared vocabulary and practice around impact measurement, enabling better collaboration across sectors.

With green and digital transitions reshaping the future of work, impact management is a critical compass. SETS provides the training, tools, and EU-aligned certification that today’s SEO leaders need to chart a sustainable course forward.
