For small teams, measuring and managing impact is essential but often difficult to prioritize amid daily operations. The Impact Collective facilitated a one-day sprint to co-create an impact framework for Odd Notion, a B Corp certified design studio, defining impact pillars that align with their mission, vision, and values. Through this process, we established key metrics for tracking impact, developed narratives to communicate their story, and built the scaffolding for an impact report.By the end of our engagement, Odd Notion had a clear, actionable framework to measure and communicate their impact effectively, ensuring they could demonstrate their value to stakeholders and make data-driven decisions for the future.
Outcomes
  • Identified impact pillars aligned with Odd Notion’s mission, vision, and values.
  • Developed a structured impact framework connecting business activities to short-term outcomes and long-term impacts.
  • Created measurable metrics for tracking progress and demonstrating impact.
  • Built the foundation for an impact report, ensuring ongoing transparency and communication.
In their words
Working with The Impact Collective was a game-changer. We've always been dedicated to making purpose popular, but we didn’t have a structured way to measure or communicate it. I've always struggled with the concept of an "Impact Report" - I didn't want to put some thing out there that just felt like bragging, I wanted it to be meaningful and rooted in our vision. In just one day, Sarah and Rebecca helped us define our impact pillars, establish key metrics, and build a framework that makes it easy to share our story. We can now build on that framework for measuring, deepening, and communicating our impact in a way that feels more authentic to who we are.
