Impact Framework Development

Impact Framework Development

The foundations that make everything else work.

We help you design a clear, credible impact framework — built around what matters to your organisation. Whether you’re a single organisation or a funder managing a portfolio of grantees, we build the foundations that make impact reportable year on year.

Who this is for

Built for organisations at every stage of their impact journey

This service is for organisations starting their impact measurement journey, seeking to better align internal processes to streamline reporting demands, or needing to redesign their approach to meet new stakeholder expectations.

Organisations starting out

Building your first theory of change and indicator framework from scratch — shaped around your context, not a generic template.

 

Organisations redesigning their approach

Aligning internal processes to new stakeholder expectations or streamlining fragmented reporting demands.

Funders and investors

Needing a consistent framework across a portfolio of grantees or investees — so impact data is comparable, not just collected.

How We Work

A clear process, from first conversation to lasting impact

Every engagement follows the same four-stage approach — structured enough to be rigorous, flexible enough to fit your context.

Discovery

Understanding your organisation, your activities, and what change you're trying to create — before a single indicator is chosen.

Theory of Change Development

A clear, defensible model linking your activities to outcomes — reviewed and agreed with your team, not handed to you as a document.

Logic Model Design

Structured articulation of inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact — so the logic of your work is visible and communicable.

Indicator Selection

Choosing the right metrics for your context, data capacity, and reporting requirements — avoiding vanity measures and focusing on what matters.

Data Architecture

Mapping how evidence will be collected, by whom, and at what frequency — so reporting doesn't rely on one person's memory or heroic effort.

Funder & Investor Alignment

Ensuring your framework meets the expectations of your key stakeholders — from boards and funders to accreditation bodies and investors.

What you'll have

Clear foundations for everything that follows

Deliverable format and depth is agreed at engagement scoping. Some organisations need a simple, rapid framework; others need a full ecosystem-level design. We scope accordingly.

A completed theory of change

Reviewed and agreed with your team — not a template, but a working model of how your activities create change.

An indicator framework

With clear definitions and data collection guidance — so anyone in your organisation can collect evidence consistently.

An aligned impact framework

Mapped to relevant reporting frameworks that can be communicated and shared with your key stakeholders.

A measurement plan

A clear plan to collect meaningful data and produce reports — so impact measurement becomes part of how you operate.

Deliverable format and depth is agreed at engagement scoping. Some organisations need a simple, rapid framework; others need a full ecosystem-level design. We scope accordingly.

Start with the right foundations.

An impact framework only delivers value when it’s applied end-to-end — from strategy through to reporting. Let’s build yours properly.
