Together, we’ll develop a strategy to manage and grow your impact
Are you investing in the right things?
How can your organisation improve people’s lives or the environment?
Our impact team will help you move from measuring activities, to growing positive outcomes.
Impact is the positive social, cultural or environmental changes, or outcomes, that happen as the result of an action. Impact could be delivered by social enterprises, charities, governments or any business that works to be impact-driven, in many different ways. To find out more read our FAQs.
The good outcomes your organisation creates could be environmental impact like diverting waste from landfills, or perhaps social impact like employment for people with disabilities. Whatever your impact, we’re here to help you grow it.
There are two interconnected pathways for understanding and growing your impact. Depending on where you are on your journey you might focus on either impact management or impact strategy.
Manage your outcomes by adopting an impact-focussed approach that will help you understand, measure and grow your impact.
We’ll support you to develop a strong impact strategy, by focussing on the best ways to create and increase positive outcomes for your organisation.

With their framework in place, TupuToa are able to communicate with stakeholders and make better informed decisions, prioritising the activities that they know will lead to the greatest impact.
