1 THE SOCIAL PROGRESS PARADIGM SHIFT Prof. Michael E. Porter Skoll World Forum Oxford 15 TH April, 2015

2 THE DUAL CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT: INCLUSIVE GROWTH Economic Development GDP per capita UNTIL NOW, THE PARADIGM HAS BEEN THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MEASURED BY GDP 2

3 THE DUAL CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT: INCLUSIVE GROWTH Economic Development Social Progress GDP per capita WILL LEAD TO SOCIAL PROGRESS. 3

4 THE DUAL CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT: INCLUSIVE GROWTH Economic Development Social Progress GDP per capita BUT SOMETIMES THAT LINK IS MISSING. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT ALWAYS LEAD TO SOCIAL PROGRESS 4

5 THE DUAL CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT: INCLUSIVE GROWTH Economic Development Social Progress GDP per capita AND SOMETIMES SOCIAL PROGRESS INFLUENCES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 5

6 THE DUAL CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT: INCLUSIVE GROWTH Social Progress? TO UNDERSTAND INCLUSIVE GROWTH WE NEED TO MEASURE SOCIAL PROGRESS DIRECTLY 6

7 SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX: DESIGN PRINCIPLES Exclusively social and environmental indicators Outcomes not inputs Relevant to all countries Actionability 7

15 UNDERSTANDING COUNTRY PERFORMANCE Social Progress Index allows us to see how a country is performing in absolute terms and relative to its economic peers. Every country has areas for improvement. Social Progress Index allows us to look at a country s performance holistically, looking at how performance varies across different aspects of social progress. It breaks down the silos between social issues and helps prioritization. Social Progress Index identifies countries that are doing well overall and on particular aspects of social progress. Helps identify best practice and potential solutions. 15
