Impact Strategy Design
Dedicated coaching and training to develop the impact strategy of your venture.
Impact management is becoming an essential ingredient for enterprise success
The benefits are clear: unlock access to affordable capital, boost customer engagement and stay ahead of sustainability reporting requirements. If you run or operate in a venture that is committed to tackling sustainability issues but you struggle to:
- Identify stakeholders and material impacts
- Define ambitious impact goals and targets
- Articulate a theory of change or impact plan
- Take first step to meet CSRD and ESRS requirements
Then this mentoring programme is meant for you.
Entrepreneurs and organisational leaders should be at the helm of their impact strategy if sustainability is to become a driver for innovation, growth, efficiency and competitive advantage!
The Impact Management Process
The purpose of impact management is to optimise the value your enterprise creates for its stakeholders. That includes investors but also people affected by your activities. This mentoring programme focuses on the first essential step of your impact management journey: strategy definition.
Articulate the impact strategy of your organisation by getting the knowledge, skills and tools to progress with your team.
- Nurture an impact management mindset in your organisational culture
- Identify sustainability issues related to your business and value chain
- Perform double materiality analysis to prioritise issues to manage
- Define ambitious impact goals and targets related to thresholds
- Develop a theory of change and impact narrative for your venture
- Learn how and when to engage stakeholders in the process

“Much of the strategic value of sustainability comes from the need to continually talk with and learn from key stakeholders. Through regular dialogue with stakeholders and continual iteration, a company with a sustainability agenda is better positioned to anticipate and react to economic, social, environmental and regulatory changes as they arise”.

The course is sector-agnostic and slightly biased towards European players. It doesn’t require any prior knowledge or experience in impact measurement or management.
In case the minimum number of participants (i.e. four organisations) is not reached in the week preceding the start of the mentoring journey, your payment will be fully refunded within 10 days.
The programme doesn’t have the ambition to help you and system stakeholders develop a system map or collective impact strategy. We focus predominantly on defining and optimising your organisational strategy.
The programme is focused on providing sector agnostic guidance. It empowers you with frameworks, tools, guidance to progress by yourself. We indicate the path, you walk it. This is why this programme is a mentoring journey, not a consulting assignment.
