Social Value Investing offers practical insights for any private sector CEO, public sector administrator, or nonprofit or foundation manager hoping to build successful collaborations. It lays out a five-point framework inspired by value investing--one of history's most successful investment paradigms--which can be applied to a wide range of programs and activities. The book tells the compelling stories of cross-sector partnerships from around the world, including ones that transformed Central Park and urban spaces in New York City, provided community-led economic development in Afghanistan, and improved public service delivery in cities across Brazil. Drawing on lessons and observations developed from a broad selection of partnership examples, Buffett and Eimicke create a blueprint for designing and managing effective, sustainable collaborations. Social Value Investing also provides readers access to original, academic case studies as well as professionally produced video documentaries for every major partnership profiled--bringing to life the people and stories in a way that few other business or management books have done.
