Consulting for Impact

1. Set your Impact Strategy

Creating a model of your Impact to tell your story of change

  • We work directly with your staff to build a logical model of your impact, and then we test it by talking to your customers, partners, and community – understanding what has changed from the people who see and experience it first-hand.  

  • Your impact model sets your vision and aligns your activities for creating social and environmental value – useful for both internal and external direction setting.

  • Our Impact Model training is focused on your actual programmes, projects or services (current or future) to give your team the skills to repeat the process independently going forward on future initiatives.  

2. Measure what matters

Through the design and implementation of meaningful measures and metrics

  • We provide a range of Impact Measurement and Evaluation services to help your organisation build an evidence base to better tell your story.

  • Our Measurement Frameworks are designed to provide your organisation with a source of truth regarding all things ‘outcomes and impact’.

  • We also provide Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis to supplement your impact measurement.  

  • Our Impact Measurement training is based on your current projects or services, to provide relevant outputs and equip your team with the skills to continue measuring impact of your future projects, programmes, or services.  

3. Communicate your Impact

Through powerful and professional Impact Reports

  • Nimbl can design and develop Impact Reports for your organisation or a particular project or service. We develop tailored reports that reflect your context, values, stakeholders, and approach.

  • A quality impact report brings your impact stories to life, supplemented with robust evidence and data.

  • Whether you’re telling the story to a local community group, government agency, or investor, you will be set up to succeed.
