Impact Measurement

Impact Measurement is no longer ‘nice to have’, and is increasingly in-demand by investors, conscious consumers, government funders, and foundations.

Impact Seed specialises in impact and outcomes measurement methods based on recognised frameworks and methodologies including:

• The WA Outcomes Measurement Framework (OMFW)
• Global Impact Investing Network’s IRIS
• B-Lab’s B-Corp requirements
• Social Return on Investment (SROI)
• The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).

We work directly with WA corporates, not-for profit organisations, government agencies, institutional and impact investors to develop streamlined impact indicators from the suite of measurement frameworks and methodologies, and also undertake independent evaluations for projects and funds.

Our key value propositions in the rapidly growing impact measurement arena are:

1. We don’t promote a ‘one-size-fits-all’ framework or methodology, preferring best-practice and best-fit frameworks tailored to each clients specific impact and outcomes requirements.
2. We take a contextual and principles-based approach to impact measurement and look to action-oriented evaluations and outcomes frameworks.
3. With a keen eye to the need for consistency for comparison, reporting and forecasting, we also support in the development of impact targets, and can develop appropriate language for advocacy, marketing or communications that you might want to consider around your measurement and evaluation work.
4. We specialise in impact measurement for impact investment (including pay for success models including social impact bonds) and systemic or strategic measurement frameworks that have the potential to provide for sectors, sub-sectors or more than one specific organisation.
