Redefining ‘Impact’ for Real Results
“Impact.” It’s one of the most used words in the consulting and nonprofit world—and yet, one of the least understood.
At Mevira Consulting, we believe that impact should be more than a checkbox or a fancy word in a strategic plan. It should be a measurable, visible, and transformative force that drives lasting change. That’s why we’re launching our new blog series—The Impact Series—to break down what impact really means and how organizations can achieve it.
✨ What Does Impact Actually Mean?
Ask ten organizations what “impact” means, and you’ll likely get ten different answers. But here’s how we define it at Mevira:
Impact is the meaningful change you create in the lives of your stakeholders—measured not by intentions, but by outcomes.
To move beyond the buzzword, organizations need to ask three powerful questions:
-
Who is affected? → These are your stakeholders.
-
What change are you driving? → These are your intended outcomes.
-
How do you track progress? → These are your measurement metrics.
🛠️ Turning Insight Into Action
