Why engage an impact measurement consultant?
> Make confident decisions
> Improve your practice
Base your decisions on data, not assumptions. Validation may be needed before moving ahead, or continuing, with your strategy. Understanding the motivations and expectations for public engagement is key for successful launch of new events, services, exhibitions or products.
Use data as an ally to bridge the gap between evidence and practice. Organizations are often asked to prove how impactful they are. This implies breaking down impact into smaller manageable dimensions such as economic, environmental, societal. Understanding how impact is distributed across these smaller entities can help producing practical insights, leading to feasible and manageable organisational changes.
