Smarter Social Value: The Human Future of AI, Local Needs and Impact

AI is everywhere — but how can it genuinely help social value leaders do better work, faster, and with more confidence?

In this thought-provoking session, we unpacked three converging themes: the growing expectation on organisations to demonstrate meaningful social value; the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence; and the need for tailored, evidence-led local needs analyses to drive quality outcomes.

  • The opportunity: how AI can scale social value measurement, local-needs diagnostics, and outcome-tracking more effectively.
  • The challenge: what social value teams need to know about bias, explainability, data integrity and ethics in AI.
  • Use case spotlight: AI-powered local needs analysis – why it matters, how it works, and how you can use it to strengthen bids, strategies and reporting.
  • Trends & future view: emerging modes of AI (agentic models, synthetic data, generative approaches) and what they mean for social value leaders now.
  • Practical guidance: first-steps, governance, tool-selection, and how to build an AI-ready social value function (without waiting for perfection).

Beyond Carbon: Practical Environmental & Wellbeing Valuation with MeasureUp

  • How to scope environmental impacts first (the “bake the cake before you ice it” approach), then choose valuation methods where they’re actually warranted.
  • A plain-English tour of carbon valuation methods: traded price, marginal abatement cost, social cost – and what aligns with UK Green Book guidance.
  • How to value beyond carbon: waste, water, air quality, biodiversity/nature, noise and green space, and where wellbeing evidence fits.
  • Common pitfalls (like “only counting the positives”) and how to stay proportionate.
  • What’s new in MeasureUp: initial environmental values including Scope 1 and 3, plus waste management examples – and what’s coming next.

Speakers: Allan Little (State of Life) and Catherine Manning (Impact Reporting)
