Development of SPGrow360
Social performance refers to how well a company or project does in terms of all of its interactions with local communities, especially in relation to meeting the objectives of avoiding harm, having trusting relationships, and contributing to the conditions by which communities and company can both attain their development aspirations.
The competencies measured in SPGrow360 were adapted from the Social Practitioner Competency Framework of the Social Practice Forum (2020) and other relevant literature. SPGrow360 consists of three higher-order and 13 specific core competencies and over 30 areas of subject matter expertise.
The first higher-order competency, Empathy, involves communication-related competencies, cross-cultural self-awareness, and stakeholder attentiveness and considerateness.
The second, Coping with Complexity, involves attending to cultural differences, promoting equity across stakeholders, integrating multiple (and often divergent) perspectives, sharing information that is helpful to others, and considering project and personal constraints.
The third, Accountability, involves team, project and financial management competencies, as well as resilience in face of task demands and personal reproach and errors.
SPGrow360 was developed by Community Insights Group in collaboration with Dr Sérgio Moreira. See the peer-reviewed journal article explaining how it was developed here.
