Social Value · Responsible Impact

Organisations Are Often Providing a Lot More Social Value Than They Are Aware Of

We provide a transparent analysis of your organisation's existing social value contributions, helping you to understand, strengthen, and maximise the impact you create. We map your key stakeholders, identify and quantify your current social value generating activities, and uncover opportunities to create greater impact in line with your organisation's values and priorities. From there, we develop a tailored plan that helps you to deliver meaningful social value, measure it, and demonstrate the positive impact of your organisation.

What's actually going wrong

It isn't necessarily that organisations are not creating social value. It is that they often don't have clear oversight into what is happening, where, who benefits, and how much impact this actually creates.
Social value activity is happening across different teams, projects and departments.
Good initiatives are being delivered without a consistent, centralised way to measure their outcomes.
Contributions then become difficult to evidence in bids, tenders, reports and stakeholder conversations.
Social value becomes a list of disconnected, seemingly random activities rather than part of organisational strategy — a report of what was done, rather than the impact it had.
Organisations are increasingly being asked to demonstrate their positive social impact to stakeholders, and in bids and tenders, without knowing where to begin.
The data exists, but it's often scattered across different systems, spreadsheets, or within people's knowledge.
Teams may want to do more but don't know where the most valuable place is to concentrate their efforts and investment.

How ORGX solves it

Social Value, in practice

First, understand

We start by building a clear understanding of your organisation's stakeholders, values, priorities, and existing social impact. We map where social value is already being generated across your operations, projects, workforce, supply chain and partnerships, including activities that may not currently be recognised as social value.

Identify

After establishing your organisation's baseline, we identify gaps and opportunities where small changes could result in a greater impact — spanning where you procure from, who you recruit or partner with, what you invest in, and how you deliver projects and engage with local communities, the planet and other stakeholders.

Plan

We turn these opportunities into a practical social value plan, aligned to your organisation's values, objectives and resources. The result is a clear set of actions, a measurement strategy, and responsible stakeholders, within an achievable timeline, to ensure maximum social value output.

Demonstrate

Finally, we support your organisation to capture, quantify and communicate the evidence, ensuring you have a credible system in place to demonstrate your impact to all stakeholders — creating optimum stakeholder satisfaction while building a solid foundation ready for continuous improvement.

Commitments and governance

Every promise recorded with an owner and a deadline, checked periodically, with a fixed rhythm for signals to reach the board table.

Why this approach

What makes it work

Baseline

Start with What Already Exists

We don't assume your organisation needs to start from scratch. We first uncover and understand the social value already being generated across your organisation.

Outcomes

Focus on Outcomes, Not Just Activity

Random 'do good' activities are not the same as creating meaningful, demonstrable impact. We support you to move from counting activities to really understanding their outcomes.

Relevance

Make It Relevant to Your Organisation

There is no 'one size fits all' social value programme to follow. We connect social value to your organisation's purpose, stakeholders, priorities and existing ways of working to ensure maximum alignment with your goals.

Practicality

Make It Practical

We do not aim to simply produce a report. We translate insight into actions that can be implemented, measured and improved over time, so you can demonstrate to your stakeholders the value your organisation brings to society and the planet — turning social value into part of how your organisation operates, not an afterthought.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask before they call us

Direct answers to the questions we hear most often.

What is social value?

Social value is the wider social, economic and environmental benefit created by an organisation's activities. It can include things such as providing meaningful employment and training, contributing to the local economy through the use of local suppliers, community engagement and support, supporting the environment, inclusion and wellbeing.

Do we need to be doing more social value?

Not necessarily. Many organisations are already creating significant social value but don't have a clear process in place to identify, measure or communicate it. Our starting point is to understand what is already happening before identifying opportunities to create more.

What if we already have a social value strategy?

We can work with your existing strategy rather than replacing it. We can help test what is being delivered against your objectives, establish what impact is already being created, identify gaps, and turn strategic commitments into measurable action.

What does the process involve?

We typically begin by understanding your organisation, stakeholders, priorities and existing activity. We then map and assess current social value, establish appropriate measures, identify opportunities, and develop a practical plan for delivery and measurement.

Do you provide a social value measurement framework?

We make use of existing, reputable frameworks. We help organisations establish an approach to measurement that reflects their activities, priorities and stakeholders. The emphasis is on generating useful evidence rather than collecting data for its own sake.

Can you help us quantify our social value?

Yes. Where appropriate, we can quantify social value using relevant measures and recognised approaches. We also distinguish between what should be quantified and what is better demonstrated through qualitative outcomes and stakeholder insight.

Can this help with tenders and procurement?

Yes. A clear understanding of your existing social value and a robust approach to measurement can help organisations develop credible commitments, evidence delivery, and communicate their impact in procurement and tender processes.

How long does the process take?

This depends on the size and complexity of the organisation, the scope of the work, and the availability of existing data. We can design the process around your needs, from a focused assessment to a more comprehensive programme of work.

What will we get at the end?

You will have a clearer understanding of the social value you are already creating, the evidence supporting it, the opportunities available to you, and a practical plan for increasing, measuring and communicating your impact.
