SAP has partnered with Endeavor, Ashoka Changemakers to unlock the potential for entrepreneurs and small and midsize businesses.
SAP is working with Endeavor to create analytical dashboards that display the impact that high-impact entrepreneurs in Endeavor’s portfolio have on their communities.
Endeavor is using SAP Crystal Dashboard Design software to examine revenue and job creation data across countries, industry sectors and company sizes to measure and demonstrate the long-term economic and social impact of its entrepreneurs.
The dashboard analysis combines internal data from the companies of Endeavor entrepreneurs with international company-level data from the enterprise surveys of the World Bank. Key metrics include revenue growth, job creation and the direct social effect through the quality of jobs created including job satisfaction, employee income, and employee health and education benefits.
SAP has joined with Ashoka Changemakers to launch a global competition which will help emerging entrepreneurs and small businesses grow in underserved communities.
Endeavor co-founder and CEO Linda Rottenberg said, "The technology from SAP will help us further track the financial, human, social, intellectual and cultural capital created by high-impact entrepreneurs and demonstrate how they consistently outperform their industry peers."
Endeavor is a non-profit organisation that pioneered the concept of High-Impact Entrepreneurship in emerging markets. Ashoka’s Changemakers is a global online community of action that connects people to share ideas, inspire and mentor each other, and find and support the best ideas in social innovation.
