Annex A Overview of Existing Models Abstract In these Annex, 76 models of SIA are described. A brief table is proposed for each model, giving information about the promoter, the purpose of the model and its main contents, and a source for further information. Qualitative Screening Models Atkisson compass assessment for investors Developed by Atkisson Inc. Purpose To measure an organization’s impact referring to the analyzed variables Content The method incorporates a structure with five key areas: N = nature (environmental benefits and impacts) S = society (community impacts and involvement) E = economy (financial health and economic influence), and W = well-being (effect on individual quality of life), and a fifth element, + = Synergy (links between the other four areas and networking), and includes a point-scale rating system on each of the five areas. Each area has several indicators each of which has specific criteria. The method has been peer reviewed by corporate executives, economic academicians, and investment professionals Source http://www.atkisson.com/wwd_tools.php BoP impact assessment framework Developed by William Davidson Institute (Ted London) Purpose To assess the well-being an organization create for three categories of stakeholders: sellers, buyers and community Content It helps organizations better understand and improve their on-the-ground poverty alleviation impacts. The BoP Framework provides managers with a robust and systematic approach to conducting: (1) a strategic analysis to gain a deep understanding of their holistic set of impacts, and (2) a performance analysis to identify, track, and improve key indicators over time Source http://bop2009.org/ia.aspx#Tool © The Author(s) 2015 91 C.
