But what exactly will have to you do? And how will you know whether it’s working? Too many people assume that good intentions will result in meaningful actions and leave it at that. But thanks to Marc Epstein and Kristi Yuthas, social have an effect on can now be evaluated with the same more or less precision achieved for any other organizational function.

Based on years of research and analysis of field studies from all over the world, Epstein and Yuthas offer a five-step process to help you gain clarity about the impacts that matter most to you and will give you methods to measure and beef up them. They outline a systematic approach to deciding what resources you will have to invest, what problem you will have to address, and which activities and organizations you will have to strengthen. Once you’ve made those decisions, you’ll be able to use their tools, frameworks, and metrics to define exactly what success looks like, even for goals like reducing global warming or poverty that are extremely difficult to measure. Then they show you how to use that data to further develop and increase your social have an effect on.

Epstein and Yuthas personally interviewed leaders at over sixty different organizations for this book and include examples from nearly a hundred more. This is unquestionably the most complete, practical, and thoroughly researched guide to taking a rigorous, data-driven approach to expanding the good you do on this planet.
