We create and help our clients apply tools to determine the effectiveness and impact of their investments.
With pressure on limited resources — economic, social and environmental — it is imperative that our clients derive maximum value from every investment. This is increasingly relevant regardless of whether the focus is on clients in the corporate, NGO or public sectors. Donors and beneficiaries, shareholders and taxpayers all increasingly want to be assured that they can secure maximum and sustainable value from their stake in any organisation.
We deliver a range of services and create bespoke tools to help our clients assess the value of their services and programmes.
Our impact and value assessment services include:
- Creating frameworks to help clients measure their impacts.
- Conducting independent programme reviews to assess the performance of programmes against objectives
- Undertaking valuations to help NGO and other clients assess the absolute, relative and market value of their 'property' or 'offers' to prospective partners — and advising on how to maximise value in the negotiation process
- Helping clients assess their social, environmental and economic contributions and impacts, by applying a range of methodologies, including SROI
Examples of recent projects include:
- Conducting a mid-term review of the HSBC Climate Partnership - one of the world's largest cross-sector, multi-partner environment partnerships. Helping the partners (HSBC, The Climate Group, Earthwatch, The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and WWF) to build on success and identifying ways in which the partnership can secure even greater impact and value
- Designing a framework to help one of the world's leading utility companies determine the effectiveness of its NGO engagement programme and its impact on reputation and trust
- Undertaking a 'product' valuation for, and helping one of Europe's leading health research NGOs to secure a 13-fold increase in the value secured for their offer
- Conductiing an end of term review for the international partnership between IKEA and WWF. Engaging stakeholders across international markets and sectors and enabling IKEA and WWF to make a fully informed decision about whether to enter a new term of partnership, what topics to focus on and how their partnership can be enhanced
All our impact and valuation services are designed to help our clients secure the greatest possible bang for their limited bucks — and to assess the wider impacts of our clients' interventions.
