6 History Study Trip to Scotland from Response project S Group s and Co-operative Hämeenmaa s consulting project within Response: connecting Corporate Social Responsibility, Balance Scorecard and Social Accounting & Auditing EQUAL theme group of measuring of social influences Training of five social auditors in Response Project TS pregnant, HB ends the job at FRC Year 2008 Book of Vastuunkantaja-model published by Response project Project leader of Response starts Syfo as competitor Funding from RAY for NÄKY project of Settlement NGO s and start of the project in Jyväskylä Five settlements Year 2009 NÄKY continues + expands First Social Accounts of the case organisation and the project itself Federation of Settlements and three other settlements comes to the project Application for funding from RAY for developing of the method All together : 17 Social Accounts so far

7

8 Now Interest towards method rising up, especially within NGOs NÄKY project continues Social accounting in five organisations and the project itself coming next spring Social budjeting in organisations (for example one with great links between Balanced Scorecard and SAA)

9 Strengths & weaknesses Opportunities & threats Biggest financer of NGOs in Finland interested in method SAN connection and international background of the method Knowledge of different financing instruments + new partners Good examples Connections to evaluation world Organising of national network? Competition and two models? (training of auditors etc.) SAN too weak to give real support?

10 Future? Organising of national network? Training of social auditors Myself as SAN approved auditor? Study trips in Finland Continuation of NÄKY project until 2011 More technology involved with the prosess Funding from RAY for developing of the method? Study trips outside Finland? Study trips to Finland??? Translations of Social Accounts? International conference in Finland? SAA & SROI, EFQM, BSC, CSR? International cooperation projects?

11

12 Some ideas for collegues Don t loose hope continue even if it feels hard Find good partners Make strategy towards the right financer Make good examples You already have all you need! (you just need to realise that) Have fun! Live as you teach

13 Thought of the day You are where your thoughts are and you are on your way to where your thoughts take you to if you want it or not. So watch out for your thoughts!
