Our Social Impact Game is powered by novel software that includes a ‘Social Impact Agent’ designed to simplify and accelerate Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) by generating a specific Social Impact Action Plan for each project.

For customised social impact

We help organisations progress social impact by using AI to find and create the right opportunities. Our AI-powered technology, built on our expertise in designing & delivering social impact projects, includes the ‘Opportunity Agent’ – an industry first – which makes it easy to find and create opportunities for Social Impact Projects with its AI Coach.

For actively engaged employees

The award-winning Social Impact Game training programme & app develops participants’ ability to design projects that solve specific problems in a measurable way.

The Social Impact Game training app helps users adapt to dynamic conditions, including advancements in technology in Social Impact Projects – and learn how to bring their ‘whole self’ to their work by connecting their purpose with their projects.

Discover how making social impact happen – improving the lives of other people in measurable ways – enables you and your organisation to innovate and grow.

To solve problems that matter and make a difference to people, the planet and resources we look holistically at:

  • Organisation

    What is the problem it exists to solve?

  • Personal

    What is the problem YOU exist to solve?

  • Project

    What is the problem the project will solve?

How we develop a rounded Social Impact Strategy

Organisations often lack an integrated strategy for designing, implementing and measuring Social Impact Projects – which can mean missing out on growth opportunities for their community and company.

They often ignore Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting due to lack of resources, expertise, confusing standards and uncertain Return on Investment (ROI). They find the “S” of ESG especially hard to measure and report – despite competitive-edge benefits in enhancing brand reputation, employee well-being, customer loyalty and community relations – as well as driving strategic planning, business innovation, resilience and increased market.

Organisations using Social Impact monitoring as a tick box exercise for compliance miss out on opportunities. The failure to understand the effects a business has on its community, employees and the environment leads to lost opportunities: operational improvements, enhanced reputation, minimising compliance and legal risks, spotting strategic blind spots, strengthened community relations, expanded market position and the increased ability to attract investment and win further contracts.

Challenge: Lack of an integrated Social Impact Strategy and Tracking of Social Impact

  • Popular Social Impact tech tools are usually geared towards large organisations, complex to use, and cost prohibitive for many.
  • Consultancy services for Social Impact monitoring at the end of a project fail to develop the capacity of organisations to use their Social Impact Projects as an integral part of improving their business services and community relationships.
  • Existing approaches that focus on Social Impact compliance – by using a consultant tacked on to the end of a project – means missing opportunities for innovation, product/service improvement or developing a more motivated workforce.

How customisation maximises impact

Organisations need a tailored approach to focus their resources on the right projects to maximise impact. Without it, they often miss opportunities to innovate & grow.

They also need support for developing project plans that incorporate effective Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) systems.

Challenge: Finding and creating projects that make Social Impact and grow the business

  • Typically, tech-savvy organisations search the internet for opportunities for projects and may miss relevant projects – or alternatively rely on expensive consultants to help.
  • Organisations developing Social Impact Projects often lack training for project design and management. Most standard training is short, lacks end-to-end support and user-friendly tech throughout the life of a project.

Why people matter most

Employee engagement is often difficult to maintain. Rapid technology advancements, including AI, are reshaping the world of work, which increases uncertainty for employees.

Many organisations are focused on adapting to technology rather than training and developing their workforce. This can result in employees feeling fearful and worried about their future.

Challenge: Most solutions fail to incorporate individuals’ need for purpose in their work and use a one-dimensional approach to training in technology.

  • Many organisations offer training on their solutions, but focus on the tech not their people – but this hyperfocus on tech means that skills can be obsolete within months.
  • Most training focusses on technical tasks or processes which may soon be automated by AI – when the greater need now is to equip learners to adapt their mindset to respond effectively to changes in technology and the workplace.

Plan

1
Audit

First we explore:

What is the difference you already make?
How do you measure the difference you make?
What are the gaps in making and measuring the difference you want to make?
2
Action

Then we form an action plan:

Why Identify potential projects to help you fulfil your purpose, mission and goals
What Choose the projects that support your goals and provide a compelling Social Return on Investment (SROI) and measured Social Value (SV)
How to embed regular measuring, tracking and showcasing in projects and across the organisation to reflect your Social Value (SV) & ensure continuous improvement

Social Impact Game

Projects

To tackle a problem, the Social Impact Game (SIG) approach provides a step-by-step framework for you to design a project with measurable impact, then showcases your work so others can follow in your footsteps.

The Social Impact Game has 5 steps:

1
PURPOSE – “O.P.E.N. Activator”

Discover personal and organisational “Big Picture” priorities and supercharge decision-making on which projects to tackle.

2
PLAN – “G.A.M.E. Generator”

Choose a Focus Problem, define Success Measures and generate an Action Plan.

3
PEOPLE – “T.E.A.M. Energiser”

Inspire your team with organisational and personal purpose and build resilient skills.

4
PRACTICE – “R.E.A.L. Accelerator”

Make the most of the latest tech, project management and tracking tools to accelerate your impact.

5
PERFORMANCE – “I.M.P.A.C.T. Multiplier”

Build your brand and multiply your Impact by showcasing your project‘s impact and making it easy for others to follow your example.

People

Energising your Team for Innovative Projects has 3 vital ingredients:

1
Organisational Purpose

Innovative bigger picture and resources to make impact

2
Personal Purpose

Innovative projects that solve problems and make impact.

3
Building Resilient Skills

Innovation and resilient skills to solve problems and make impact.

Building Resilient Skills

Many organisations offer training on their technology or solutions, but focus on the tech and not the people.

This tech hyperfocus means that, with the rapid rate of change & advances in AI, knowledge & technical skills can quickly become obsolete. The SIG technology & training equips learners with resilient skills for effective response to changes in technology and the workplace.
