SUMMARY:ESG Partner Project webinar: Mutual Value Measurement
DESCRIPTION:Invitation only – BCCM Member – ESG Partner Project webinar \nMutual Value Measurement© \nThursday\, 28 April 2022\, 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm \nThis webinar is about Mutual Value Measurement. \nOne of the greatest challenges for co-operatives and mutuals (CMEs) is to be able to quantify and communicate consistently the value that our businesses create. \nThat’s why the BCCM teamed up with researchers at Monash University’s Monash Business School\, our members and the co-operative and mutual enterprise sector\, to find a new way of measuring our positive impact on our members\, our customers\, the community and the economy – the Mutual Value Measurement (MVM)©. \nThe Mutual Value Measurement Framework© helps CMEs to measure their total value creation (mutual value) through a set of common dimensions and shared language. \nThe MVM Framework© can be used by CMEs across different industries\, of different sizes\, and with different capabilities. \nIncorporating MVM into your business can help you realise the total mutual value you create\, leading to significant business and commercial benefits. \nThe MVM Framework© has been field-tested through research by Monash University’s Business School and is available with an implementation guide and templates that will allow interested CMEs to assess and plan the full adoption of the MVM Framework©. \nLearn about the MVM from the BCCM and Monash University.
