Theory of Change

We work at two levels.

At the micro level, we build bespoke impact measurement frameworks for individual organisations — small businesses, social enterprises, mission-driven SMEs. Each framework is customised to the organisation's model, its stakeholders, and the outcomes it actually generates. No two clients receive the same instrument, but each draws on the same underlying methodological stack and feeds directly into an SROI report.

At the macro level, we contribute to the shared methodological stack that this customisation work draws on — SROI, Theory of Change, True Profit, Economics of Mutuality, and the People · Patient · Profit framing we've developed in practice. Each engagement refines the stack. Over time, the stack becomes infrastructure others can use.

We build measurement frameworks one organisation at a time, and steward the underlying methods so that the next organisation — and the one after — has more to work with than the one before.

LONG TERM OUTCOME

LONG TERM OUTCOME

Impact measurement becomes a standard part of how small and mid-sized organisations operate — not a specialist exercise, but routine infrastructure for running a credible business.

MEDIUM TERM OUTCOME

MEDIUM TERM OUTCOME

A growing body of customised frameworks and case evidence makes impact measurement accessible to small businesses and social enterprises that previously found it out of reach.

SHORT TERM OUTCOME

SHORT TERM OUTCOME

Individual organisations move from describing their impact to measuring it, with frameworks that are defensible to staff, customers, partners, and funders.

CORE MECHANISM OF CHANGE
CORE MECHANISM OF CHANGE
  • Bespoke framework design — building measurement instruments fitted to each organisation's model and stakeholders

  • Methodological stewardship — maintaining and refining the shared stack of methods (SROI, ToC, True Profit, Economics of Mutuality, 3P) that the bespoke work draws on

  • Case evidence — publishing the worked examples that lower the threshold for the next organisation
