The takeaways from this course were beyond my expectations, not only because of the methodology and framework that I can immediately use in my current projects, but also the mindset shift I had, which I believe is extremely critical to the success of my new role.

Welcome to Aartha! We collaborate with change-makers in all organizations who,
Aartha guides you step-by-step as you lead your organizations to make a measurable difference for your stakeholders.
The Impact Imperative – A Better Future for Everyone
The word impact has multiple interpretations. Aartha uses the definition below, as defined by thousands of practitioners, to serve our clients,
“Impact is a change in an outcome caused by an organization. An impact can be positive or negative, intended or unintended.”
Informally, the word “impact” describes a better world. Everyone cares for a better world. In 2015, 193 countries adopted the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The seventeen goals collectively aim for a better future for everyone. Consumers care for a better world. They consider the environmental and social costs of their consumption decisions. Investors look at indicators of employee composition and climate impact before investing. There is an increasing focus on meaningful ESG disclosures and a valid outcry about greenwashing. Employees prefer to work for organizations with purpose and even make decisions based on how their organization treats others.
An Urgency for The Right Outcomes
Because the stakes are massive, the outcomes matter. Therefore, we are having a conversation about measuring progress.
Every Dollar Counts
The SDGs are woefully underfunded. All organizations have resource constraints. Therefore, every investment dollar counts. Stakeholders expect these investments to work in the private, public, non-profit, and government sectors.
Not Knowing is Frustrating
A big challenge is that we often do not know if our programs and investments are effective or if they are making the difference they need to. High-performing, adaptive leaders find it frustrating to be in this position.
Impact Measurement and Management Have a Role to Play
Impact measurement and management (see this excellent definition by GIIN) keeps track.
Just Steps Away from Having an Impact
We understand that change is hard, and the demands on change-makers are unrelenting. We show you a new way toward impact as you implement your program and initiative investments. You will find that you are just steps away from the impact you want to make.
Organizations allocate large budgets for strategic projects and programs. For this purpose, in-house professional teams design, deliver and implement strategic programs internally or with the help of external consultants. The question of a program’s impact comes up frequently for these professionals.
We recommend your organization build capability in measurement and evaluation. As a result, your implementation teams will not only know and show the value of a program but also design high-performance projects and set impact expectations with all partners.
Impact measurement is a highly prized skill. We build your team’s measurement and evaluation capability by offering you learning formats to suit your unique needs.
Learn MoreSenior leaders want to see the outcomes of programs and projects. It is especially true when these outcomes link to business goals. Accordingly, they ask implementation teams for impact data.
But the program and project implementation teams do not specialize in measurement and evaluation. Typically, they are functional or project experts. They work with available resources to try to meet agreed delivery milestones. A specialized measurement workstream adds to their already lengthy list of commitments. Instead, we collaborate with your teams to design and implement metrics and measurements.
By hiring us, your organization gains specialized measurement and evaluation advice without compromising the efficiency of the implementation team. We identify success metrics, align stakeholders, measure ongoing progress, and provide insights that improve your results.
