How IRIS+ is Transforming Impact Measurement & Management: The Problems it Solves and a Live Demo
Rapid growth in approaches to impact measurement and management (IMM) is causing many people connected to the impact investing ecosystem to wonder how all the initiatives fit together and how to apply new conventions, principles, tools and resources. This webinar will offer clarity and provide some answers by walking through IRIS+, a generally accepted system for impact management.
LETICIA EMME, Senior Manager, IRIS+ and Impact Measurement and Management at the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) will describe the main pain points in IMM and how IRIS+ seeks to address them. She will also provide a brief demo of how to use IRIS+ which will allow a close-up view of its various features.
JANE REISMAN, a social impact advisor who has contributed to the development of IMM advancements will engage Leticia in an illuminating conversation to help all those involved in the impact investing ecosystem, including investors, entrepreneurs, academics and researchers, practitioners and other intermediaries, see how they can use IRIS+ in their work.
The session will Include ample time for the audience to ask questions and offer comments that will help advance understanding of the new IMM landscape and the contribution of IRIS+ to the field.
