Perspectives on evaluation of social entrepreneurships with Bill Drayton, CEO and Founder of Ashoka

At the Harvard Social Enterprise Conference this weekend, EmprendeSocial had the opportunity to interview Bill Drayton, CEO and Founder of Ashoka, on the importance of measuring impact of social entrepreneurial initiatives.Expecting an assurance that measuring impact is vital for all social initiatives, we were surprised to hear quite the opposite.  In his view, the protocols and indicators used to measure the “impact” of a project took precious and limited resources away from the focus of executing a well done project or program.
