Getting started with impactmanagement

Intention alone is not good enough

Making an impact is no longer the exclusive domain of foundations, non-profits, or philanthropic funds. Organisations across all sectors, from businesses to public institutions and social organisations, are looking for ways to create positive value for people and nature. Some are still at the beginning, others have been working for years with a clear impact mission. But the same applies to all: intention alone is not enough. Anyone who truly wants to make a difference must learn to steer on impact and to systematically manage, measure and communicate that impact. In this whitepaper, we take organisations along in the basics of impact management, regardless of their starting point. 

The basis of impactmanagement

We do this on the basis of the Future Fit Management Model we developed: a practical framework that shows how, as an organisation, you can steer on impact while at the same time working on your future resilience (in other words, your future fitness). This model forms the common thread of the whitepaper. Successfully steering on impact does not happen in a single step, but by repeatedly going through this cycle and learning from what you encounter along the way.
