IMPACT ANALYTICS

Preparing for the RAE 2026? Research universities face rising expectations to deliver impact to their stakeholders, including research partners, community organizations, government departments, and prospective students, among others. The Impact Case Studies are not just a necessary bit of paperwork. It is an opportunity to evaluate, communicate and scale research impact and to engage with stakeholders.   Impact Analytics can support research departments with: 1.    Research narrative development for impact pathways; 2.    Information and evidence collection and stakeholder interviews; 3.    Writing up impact case studies for RAE. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

On this Women’s Day, I want to thank my amazing team at IMPACT ANALYTICS. I am so so proud of them and all the great work they do for the social sector. Their passion and professionalism move me everyday. I am very grateful that they share the same dream with me, to use our academic training for the betterment of society. Love them all ❤️.

Revisioning PMQ Place-based Theory of Change and Business Model Innovations to Create Shared Values In view of community diversities and the uniqueness of resource endowments in each community, IMPACT ANALYTICS has been looking for #place-based #theoryofchange to enhance urban regeneration and community resilience. One of the areas that we have looked at is #sustainable #businessmodelinnovation and #place-based CSV strategies for real estate companies. Swire Properties has set a good example for their work in Island East, and Nan Fung Group in Tsuen Wan. On Oct 30th, in collaboration with The Chinese University of Hong Kong and ULI Hong Kong together with Eric Ho, the co-founder and director of Architecture Commons, Jessica Chan, Head of Investor Solutions of JLL Hong Kong Kong, and Dorothy Cho, the CSV manager of IMPACT ANALYTICS delivered a workshop on place-based creating shared value strategies for CUHK students from the Hospitality and Real Estate Program, using PMQ as an example. In the workshop, Dorothy facilitated a discussion on sustainable business model innovations and generating shared value for real estate companies. This was followed by Eric's sharing on human-centered design for adaptive reuse projects, and Jessica's insights on building-life cycle and related considerations. The students then engaged in an exercise where they applied CSV strategies to rethink PMQ, demonstrating their creativity and imaginative thinking while taking into account the balance between economic, social and environmental benefits. #businessmodelinnovation #creatingsharedvalue #placemaking #urbandesign #communityimpact #communityresilience #urbanregeneration

In this session, we will focus on methods, such as outcome mapping and measurement, theory building and testing, that can help you determine the effectiveness of programme or product designs and how they create an impact. Understanding your designs is critical for enhancing program/product effectiveness, and allows funders and investors to use their funds more costeffectively. We will also discuss the differences and relationships between impact assessment, SROI assessment, and ESG assessment, and other forms of assessment based on certain impact standards.
