Announcing the SOCAP24 Agenda — Going Deeper: Catalyzing Systems Change!

Investing for systems change: Can a systems change lens shift what we invest in, and how we measure?

Alejandro Alvarez von Gustedt Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors

There is growing interest in using systems change approaches in impact investments, while also exploring new approaches to measuring social and environmental impact that go beyond typical output metrics. So, what happens at the intersection of these trends, and how can it help deliver more ‘real world change’?

Drawing on the experiences from the Shifting Systems Initiative of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA) and other organizations, we will explore how a systems lens can influence impact investment strategies across different types of institutions, and how it could shift the ways in which we measure and manage for social and environmental impact.
