Social value

This briefing outlines the opportunities for Digital/IT leaders in local public service organisations and their suppliers to consider ‘social value’ as a key plank in their strategies, policies and operations. The use of frameworks such as ‘TOMs’ and ‘Doughnut Economics’ can help councils to rethink the balance between social, economic, and environmental foundations of wellbeing, where intervening to deliver social value can make a positive difference to their people, communities and places.
