The project arises from the observation of the exponential increase economic and social vulnerability needs andsituations, generated by economic crises, identifying that one of the possible solutions to this emergency is the creationof innovative business models.It becomes essential for enlightened entrepreneurs, especially in countries that have a fragile socio-economic fabric,such as Bulgaria, Greece, Slovenia, Italy and Spain, to identify the value, in terms of the social impact of their businessor the social effect that each intervention generates on the community or on specific categories of beneficiaries.In this context of uncertainty, there is a new way of doing business: a model is introduced that sets aside forever theoutdated yardstick of profit as the only objective and parameter to assess the health of an entrepreneurial activity,choosing transparency, 360 ° sustainability (economic, social and environmental) and responsibility towards allstakeholders, including the environment and future generations as the guiding values.The need for skills, tools and approaches aimed at measuring and managing this value also increases, the developmentof which will be crucial for the evolution of the business ecosystem and social innovation in the EU.To date, 3,086 Benefit Corporations are certified in 150 sectors and 71 different countries.In Italy, despite being the first country in the world, after the USA, to have introduced the legal form of BenefitCompany as of 1 January 2016, there are almost 100 B-Corps; just 50 in Spain, while for Greece, Slovenia and Bulgariathere are long delays (Certified B-Corporation Community, 2020).Furthermore, in recent years, most of the studies and tools carried out have focused on large companies.With the SIMPLE project, on the other hand, we want to identify sustainability paths, business models and impactmeasurement methodologies that consider the specific features of SMEs, which constitute the production fabric of theEU countries involved, capitalizing on good business practices at national, European and international level.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:1) To develop for 60 SME workers in Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Greece and Bulgaria, skills in social sustainability in termsof strategic paths, business models, organizational processes, measurement tools with the development and systematicadoption of a shared blended training offer (IO1 - TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR SUSTAINABILITY ANDSOCIAL BUSINESS INNOVATION)2) Promote digital integration in learning activities with the co-design and development of:a) Open Educational Resources, in the form of interactive, video pills for the corporate population of SMEs, in theEU partner reference territorial contexts, to increase a skills set in terms of social sustainability useful for theirorientation towards social innovation and immediate application in the business and work environmentb) SIM-Game (Social Impact Measurement Game) which, exploiting gaming and gamification logics, will be aninteractive recreational-educational container structured in episodes, each of which relates to skills and relative openeducational resources, capable of marking the evaluation process concurrently with learning, generating engagement,motivation and self-awareness.(IO2 - INTERACTIVE AND GAMIFIED OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES)3) Align 24 partnership trainers and consultants, involved in two transnational mobilities to:a) acquire the methodological references of INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN to elaborate the contents of the OER to berealized by producing interactive, training video pills and GAME-BASED LEARNING to incorporate and functionalizethe dynamics and game based mechanics to be applied to learning processes exploiting game logics to create a selectiveand detailed evaluation process on specific areas of competence and determining behaviours of corporate socialsustainabilityb) implement the functional plan to guide the target SMEs to measure social impact and guide learners in its applicationin target companies during company check-ups.4) Co-elaborate and standardize methods and tools to measure and manage social impact in target SMEs to allowworkers to conduct corporate check-ups to photograph the actual with respect to the planned social innovationobjectives and trace an action plan to guide companies in redesigning the business model by orienting their objectivesand methods to B-Corp and benefit Company logics.
