Learning and Development

We have ten years of experience building effective teams and processes to make social impact investment work.

The Framework

The Learning and Development Framework has been developed at Better Society Capital to help our team develop and learn the skills needed to make social impact investing work. We want to share this framework so that asset owners and asset managers in the UK and globally can use it and adapt it for their own needs

  • Knowledge

    We believe multi-sector knowledge is essential to effectively operate across social impact investing from the social issue through to sustainable enterprise models, investors’ needs and the broader ecosystem in which social impact investing sits.

  • Strategic problem solving

    Social impact investing is seeking to address complex social problems and in many instances strive for systems change. We believe this requires a greater focus on strategic problem solving, human-centred design thinking and collaboration.

  • Investment management skills

    Social impact investing management skills combine standard private market investment processes with social impact and evaluation approaches. We believe this combination can best balance and maximise the financial and social impact objectives of an investment.
