These episodes of Open for Business had Jay Baughan the University of Northamptons Social Entrepreneur in Residence as the guest host, he spoke Prof. Richard Hazenberg, UON\u2019s lead expert in Social Innovation and Impact at the University, and his Social Impact Matrix\xae (SIM) is quickly becoming the defacto framework for Aid Agencies, NGOs and government departments for identifying tangible socioeconomic impact evolving from public and 3rd sector services/projects \u2013 shaping policy making and investment. Richard and I have worked closely to incorporate the SIM into the Changemaker Incubator to now welcome police, fire, NHS, schools\u2019 and councils\u2019 procurement bodies to align and measure supplier social value as impact as part of a county social impact alliance with UON \u2013 with the Changemaker Incubator being the structure of the support for, and measurement of voluntary, charity and social enterprise activity across the county.
