Descrizione The impact of organizations: keasurement, kanagement and corporate reporting
This handbook was written during a time of global sudden changes: from the pandemic emergency to international conflicts up to increasingly frequent climatic and social crises. In this context, the issues of sustainability and impact are becoming central to the strategic planning of organizations as well as for the management and mitigation of emerging risks. Therefore, for corporate and financial organizations as well as public institutions there is a growing need of methods, tools and approaches that can help them in the management processes connected to these issues. This acceleration is accompanied by growth of complexity regarding these two topics due to the presence of many questions that are still open today: how is it possible to define sustainability and impact? What are the links between the two approaches? Accountability and evaluation, what connection? Which reporting standards for which stakeholder categories? How can the organization go beyond reporting, towards the integrated and sustainable management of business processes? In this scenario, through this handbook we aimed to offer our contribution putting together academic evidence and concrete experiences, following the hybrid approach changed by the Governance of Innovation and Impact Management Observatory (founded by Italiacamp and Luiss Guido Carli University) which edited this publication. The ambition is to be a bridge between the academia and the market sector, to return know-how and useful tools to help the organization to face this systemic change. We believe that, to do this, are essential heterogeneous and multilateral points of view, skills and approaches. It is not an easy challenge that requires an alignment of languages, methods, experiences. In this perspective, the handbook is divided into three sessions where the empirical experiences showed emergent organizational models to address the issues of sustainability and impact and academic experience captured implications that the sustainable approach had on performance and organizational models and identified some trends and scenarios that are opening thanks to the present evidence. The three macro-sections focused on sustainability and impact management for: corporate entities, financial sector and public institutions. The hope is that this work could represent the starting point for the development of increasingly integrated and interconnected research, application and development processes.
