Mission Measurement is a strategy consulting firm that helps clients create value through social change.

We use measurement, market research and strategy innovation to help our clients produce enduring, high-value social and financial outcomes.

Value is a concept not often thought about in the sphere of social change. Rarely do we ask: Who values what we do?  What is the “return” on our investment? Are we just “doing good,” or actually solving a social problem?

At Mission Measurement, the answers to those questions are central to our work.

Our clients are the corporate, nonprofit and government leaders best positioned to change the world: McDonald’s, Walmart, Cisco, Kraft Foods, Walt Disney Corporation, USAID, Easter Seals, The Gates Foundation, Education Pioneers, 4-H, United Way, social entrepreneurs and others.

We’ve forged a profoundly different approach, requiring a unique set of consulting competencies—a blend of traditional measurement and evaluation with market research and innovative strategy consulting. And it’s producing a profoundly different type of result for our clients: breakthrough social change and breakthrough financial returns.

Mission Measurement works with our clients in two ways: measuring impact and creating value.

Our approach to measurement is both rigorous and practical. We help our clients at each step in the measurement process: Identifying what impact they want to create, establishing metrics for measuring that impact and capturing the results. We excel at measuring not just processes and outputs, but tangible outcomes and the value of those outcomes to funders and other stakeholders.

Create Value

Today, social outcomes have real economic consequences. Whether it’s improving access to healthcare, the environment, education or quality of life at the bottom of the pyramid, there is now a compelling economic motive to solve many of the world’s most pressing social problems. By leveraging the power of the market, we can ensure that social change efforts run off the engine of the economy, not the fumes.

That’s why we developed the Social Value Proposition™: A measurement of the social change our clients can produce that their stakeholders—funders, customers, investors—are willing to pay for. We work with our clients to measure, maximize and sell their Social Value Proposition. The result is a cutting-edge strategy that drives value by solving a pressing social problem.
