Many Birds with One Stone
A Social Impact Entity for Education, Inclusion, and Data
Abstract
In this article we suggest that the ever-rising focus on big data -- from measurement to interpretation to decision making -- can and should be leveraged to tackle equity gaps, drive economic inclusion, and be the rising tide that lifts all boats. Current efforts to achieve this aim fail to take into account important elements of the problem. We propose a model for a social impact company or network of companies that would address these needs by using big data to assess social impact and to build capacity among nonprofits to generate and act on meaningful data, while at the same time creating job opportunities for underserved individuals.
