Beyond the Numbers — Measuring Soft Skills in Impact Investing for SMEs with F3 Global
Session Overview
In the world of impact investing, we often focus on what can be easily quantified—but some of the most critical success factors for small and growing businesses are intangible. Skills like leadership, resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving are essential for SMEs, yet they’re rarely captured in traditional impact measurement and management (IMM) frameworks.
In this session, F3 Global LLC will explore practical methodologies for measuring soft skills in impact investing, offering tools and frameworks that help investors and enterprises alike better understand and support human-centered capabilities.
You’ll learn about:
• Why soft skills matter in enterprise growth and long-term impact
• Frameworks for identifying and assessing soft skill acquisition
• Tools such as behavioral analytics for practical measurement
• How to integrate soft skills into broader IMM systems
If you’re working with SMEs or investing in people-driven outcomes, this session offers a fresh and necessary lens on what success really looks like.
