If you aren’t familiar with them, Sowen is an impact consultancy focused on harnessing data to accelerate social change. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with their Managing Partner, Sophie Blondeau, to write this article that we hope will help nonprofits succeed, no matter where they are in their data journey.

We’ve taken in feedback to create content to help our consultant partners and our clients succeed.
Check out the following resources, including a brand-new resource that talks about how Brickwork settings can be configured for duplicate management:
Though the authors use of phrases such as ‘hardcore capitalist’ can be off-putting (which are excusable since this book is clearly meant mostly for rigid thinkers in the for-profit world) “Purpose Incorporated,” by John Wood and Amalia McGibbon, imparts lesson that anyone in the impact economy can learn from.
In the business of everyday operations, make sure the purpose of what you do shines in every facet of your organization. Doing so is a powerful tool for finding talent, loyal customers, partners, and improving your team’s satisfaction.
What I do appreciate about this book is that the authors explicitly state that having purpose must come from authenticity and cannot be a gimmick or a one-off attempt at CSR. They continue, emphasizing that Milton Friedman-esque profit maximization practices are no longer viewed as an acceptable form of business and, in many cases, detract from results. Interesting cases of the best and worst practices are shared.
My one update to the text for it to make more sense today: find and replace every instance of the word millennial with gen z.
