Impact Management & Measurement

All enterprises have positive and negative effects on people and the planet. Whether large multinational, small business or not for profit, we can all plan and manage our impact and outcomes better.

Our team has led some of WA’s key impact management and outcomes planning projects, including the whole-of-sector outcomes measurement framework with the WA Government in partnership with WACOSS; integrating B-Lab B-Corp certification processes; and recently concluding the independent mid-term review for Woodside’s $20M Development Fund.

We specialise in impact management projects requiring simple translation from complex cross-sector datasets, and adapting reporting methods based on nationally and international best practice frameworks and methodologies including:

• The WA Outcomes Measurement Framework (OMFW)
• Global Impact Investing Network’s IRIS
• B-Lab Assessment (B-Corp certification process)
• Social Return on Investment (SROI)
• The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)
• Impact Management Project (IMP)

In a rapidly growing and increasingly ‘noisy’ impact management arena our key values are:

1. We deliver best-practice and best-fit frameworks tailored to each client
2. A contextual approach to engagement, framework, communication strategy, and developing action-oriented impact management reports
3. Understanding the need for consistency for comparison, reporting and forecasting
4. Systemic and strategic impact management projects encompassing governance, employees, environment and community, considering whole of supply chain impact

If you’re looking to create an impact management framework, measure your impact and outcomes, or simply improve your positive impact through supply chain practices and procurement, please get in touch.

Impact Planning & Design

Good impact management and measurement is built on a solid foundation of planning and design.  Over the past 5 years we have worked with many organisations on their approach to impact management and have been looking to integrate a data platform that provides simple and accessible evidence for planning and design.

In early 2020 Australia’s gold standard data platform for planning, design and mapping social information merged with Impact Seed.  Since 2018, Community Insight Australia has been the go-to mapping platform for social and economic indicators across Australia. It is an online tool that aggregates data sources from providers like the ABS and Centrelink, presenting simple visual maps and reports for companies, governments and social service providers to understand the difference between localities.  As part of our impact management suite we’re excited to offer this to our clients.
