Laying foundations
Bring clarity and structure to your impact work. We review your current activity, co-design a tailored measurement framework, and provide clear strategic guidance—giving you a focused roadmap aligned with your goals and the standards that matter.
We begin with a full review of your current impact activity—identifying what’s working, what’s missing, and where value can be unlocked. We use this to develop a roadmap aligned with your goals and relevant frameworks.
Through a half-day collaborative session, we co-create a bespoke impact measurement framework. Together, we’ll establish who collects what data, how often, and why it matters; ensuring full alignment with your strategy.
We provide targeted recommendations to take your impact measurement forward; whether that means refining your metrics or aligning with global standards.
Define value
Sharpen how you understand and evidence impact. We audit your current valuation practices, develop a clear valuation strategy, and provide bespoke support to build robust models that accurately reflect the true value of your work.
We review your existing valuation practices to find gaps, overlaps, and opportunities for precision. This includes analysis of documentation and reporting processes.
A half-day session focused on defining key activities, building robust value pathways, and choosing the right methods for calculating social return.
We carry out targeted research and help you build a valuation model that reflects your work’s unique outcomes.
Embed purpose
Integrate impact at the heart of your organisation. We diagnose your current position, design a bespoke measurement and valuation system, and provide hands-on, embedded support—helping you build capability, engage stakeholders, and align purpose with strategy, delivery, and decision-making.
We conduct an in-depth social value audit and stakeholder mapping to understand your organisation’s current state and potential.
