INTRODUCTION
You have in your hands the third thematic
newsletter of the 4D Cities project. This document
analyses the business sector from the point of view
of Health Innovation and puts in relation with other
agents that interact in this field. The aim is to make
it an engine for the social and economic growth of
cities.
This time we have talked to the specialist in
measuring the impact of Social Return on
Investment (SROI), Peter Scholten, who has
accompanied us in the final stretch of the project
advising us to correctly assess the respective Local
Action Plans. The newsletter also presents the latest
reports and includes the agenda of the 4D Cities
Final Event that will take place in the Lead Partner
st
city of Igualada on March 31st and April 1 2015.

WORKING ON PERFORMANCE
MEASUREMENT, ASK YOURSELF
WHAT YOUR OBJECTIVES ARE
Peter Scholten is an international expert on social performance measurement.
Consultant and developer for organisations and enterprises with a financial,
social/cultural and ecological bottom-line, Scholten has co-introduced the SROImethodology in Europe and invented the 'ValueGame'. Here he answers some
of the questions related to Health measurement and Health Innovation
development in global terms and applied to the 4D Cities network.
We have detected that, in general, Health is only
seen as a spending stream, but we think that it
also can be a loophole that generates wealth. Do
you agree?

Do companies really realise that the Health
Sector is a valuable economic sector?
Yes, I think so. Everybody will agree that health is
an important part and driver of our economy. But it
is not only an economic issue. It is also about value
creation for people, which is often not seen as an
economic issue. Health care organizations can
improve their outcome statements by adding this
customer value to their reports.
