Our advisory team has spent 15+ years building impact systems for organisations across sectors. We bring that experience directly to your organisation, helping you design frameworks, assess evidence, and embed impact reporting as a lasting strategic asset.
Most organisations know their work matters, but struggle to prove it in a way that satisfies funders, boards, or investors. Off-the-shelf frameworks don’t fit. Internal teams lack bandwidth. And when assessment deadlines arrive, everything becomes a scramble.
Hivve’s advisory team works alongside your organisation to build the frameworks, processes, and evidence base you need, shaped around your context, not a generic template. And because our advisory methodology is the same one built into the Hivve platform, everything we build together can scale with you.
From building your first impact framework to preparing for a major assessment — our advisory team meets you where you are.
Build a credible impact framework — aligned to your purpose and your reporting.
We develop evidence-based impact frameworks and performance indicators that are flexible enough for your portfolio to report on meaningfully — meeting the expectations of boards, funders, investors, and accreditation bodies, not just internal teams.
Impact reporting that holds up to board, funder, and investor scrutiny.
We design measurement systems and produce annual impact reports structured for real decisions — board reviews, annual reports, impact assessment submissions, research centre reporting, and grant reporting. Clear, credible, and ready to stand up to scrutiny.
Independent impact assessments — rigorous, evidence-led, defensible.
Our experts have helped hundreds of academics and dozens of institutions benchmark their performance against best practices. We have experience supporting over four major research assessment exercises — REF 2014 and 2021, currently supporting REF 2029, and RAE 2020 and 2026 in Hong Kong.
Impact measurement training that builds real, lasting capability.
Facilitated workshops, team training, and coaching to build internal confidence and capability — so impact measurement becomes part of your business as usual.
Most advisory engagements end with a document. Ours end with a working system. The frameworks we develop flow directly into your processes and the Hivve platform, so your impact practice becomes part of how you operate — not something filed away after the project closes.
Every engagement follows the same four-stage approach — structured enough to be rigorous, flexible enough to fit your context.
Our methodology didn’t come from theory — it was developed from our successes to strengthen impact performance in government assessment exercises. Having supported nearly 1,000 impact case studies across sectors, geographies, and impact types, we know what drives measurable, credible impact in practice.
Every engagement follows the same four-stage approach — structured enough to be rigorous, flexible enough to fit your context.
They build their framework and measurement approach with our team, then migrate to the Hivve platform to manage, track, and report at scale. There’s no gap between how we work in advisory and how the platform is built — they use the same methodology.
Our team develops your theory of change, indicators, and reporting requirements — shaped around your context, not a generic template.
We implement a measurement system, support evidence collection, and produce impact reports that funders and investors can rely on.
Your framework transfers directly into Impact Tracker. The same methodology, now embedded in software — so your team can manage, track, and report at scale over time.
