Measuring and Magnifying Impact

The Positive Impact Rating provides a way for business schools to measure, report, and improve their societal impact, all through the student perspective.

• The Positive Impact Rating was created to move business schools away from tracking graduates’ salaries and toward measuring graduates’ societal impact.

• The PIR assessment rates schools at one of five levels: Beginning, Emerging, Progressing, Transforming, and Pioneering.

• By measuring a school’s positive impact through the student point of view, the PIR has inspired business schools to include more students in their strategic discussions.
