Direct resources to have the greatest impact
Until we measure beyond financial value, we will continue to make decisions at the cost of our social, environmental and personal Wellbeing.
“if we have declared success because we have a relatively high rate of GDP growth, why are the things that we value going backwards like child wellbeing, a warm, dry home for all, mental health services or rivers and lakes that we can swim in?", launching the New Zealand Wellbeing Budget in 2019, Grant Robertson, Treasurer of New Zealand, acknowledged this was because these things “were not being sufficiently valued by the government. And because they were not being valued, they were not being measured, and because they were not being measured, they were not being done”.
To measure progress, we must measure financial value and social value. Without both, we may increase one at the cost of the other. Just as longitude is to latitude, we need social value and financial value to know that we are on track.
As an independent third party, Huber Social works with government to deliver cost effective and rigorous social impact measurement to inform decision making, policy formulation and identify gaps in services.

Case Study:
AIATSIS
Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS)
AIATSIS represents an Australian National Treasure.
Researching and preserving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, the institute’s collection holds materials to preserve 185 of our 250+ indigenous languages and the organisation works to impart knowledge and understanding through school-based programs and ad-hoc exhibitions.
In 2019, Huber Social begun working with AIATSIS to provide a data driven way to demonstrate the importance of AIATSIS to our societal Wellbeing and support the successful business case to expand AIATSIS’s work into a National Schools Based program and anticipated National Exhibition Space.
Working closely with AIATSIS, Huber Social is well experienced with the appropriately stringent Ethics process and guidelines for working in the Indigenous sector and have built a strong relationship with the Institute who stands as the authority in this space. Huber Social continues to work with AIATSIS to measure the effectiveness of programs across the Collection and Schools Based Programs.
