Impact Management

Every initiative begins by identifying a social or environmental need that has not been appropriately addressed. Together with our partners in the initiative, we identify the roots of the complex problem, separately from its symptoms, and outline possible courses of action that may lead to change.

In the second stage, we seek to develop creative, holistic and impactful solutions. The work process begins with in-depth research of the field, mapping the possible opportunities.
Integrating theoretical information, practical tools, peer group discussions, and learning from the field, we design a value-chain solution that includes various key players who we see as  relevant to achieving the goals we have set, including third sector organizations, private companies and government entities, with us serving as the “honest broker” between them.
We develop a long-term action plan based on the Theory of Change, and ensure measurable and replicable goals using the IMP (Impact Management Project) method.

The third stage includes implementing the solution in the field, while measuring and monitoring its efficacy.
In accordance with the Blended Finance Approach, at this stage we make strategic use of philanthropic resources to create risk-reducing mechanisms, in order to attract private capital for the benefit of the venture, and channel it to create and cultivate a significant and long-term impact.

The impact assessment stage of our value chain includes measuring performance, analyzing findings, and drawing conclusions through peer learning. We estimate the socio-environmental impact of the model we built according to the IMP dimensions and evaluate the economic opportunity it created using ROI.
Based on the lessons learned, and with quality risk management, we continually update our value chain to improve both social impact and economic opportunity in future implementation.

Having realized that our value chain model achieves its intended goals in an efficient and effective manner, our public sector partners, who have been part of the value chain throughout the process, are now taking the lead, implementing the solution on a broader scale and ensuring that it is sustained over time. At the same time, we are producing a “manual”, which is intended to help other public and government entities implement the model in other locations. We also examine the possibility of adapting the successful solution to additional target audiences and new sectors.
