Members collaborating on an impact mapping exercise

Our impact

A community for pioneering founders

We are a community of practitioners contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals — through the work we do, the clients we choose and the businesses we build.

In short

What are the Global Goals?

The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals — a shared framework for the change the world needs by 2030. Our members map their businesses to the goals they genuinely contribute to, and measure it honestly. See where the community is putting its weight on Our Impact.

How do you measure impact?

We ask members what changed, for whom, and how they know. The five-pillar diagnostic gives each member a baseline and a direction; the community survey tracks how that moves.

We would rather publish a modest number we can evidence than a large one we cannot.

What is the Global Goalies program?

Sponsored membership seats. Registered social enterprises and not-for-profits can access the community through sponsored places, offered twice a year and funded by other members. Register your interest on Our Impact.

Impact made practical

Impact is easy to claim and hard to evidence. The IC exists to make the honest version doable for a business of one: map it, measure it, report it, and keep the business standing while you do.

How the programming is built

The Impact Architect Framework™

Everything we run hangs off five pillars: Product Design, Visibility, Impact, Systems and Wellbeing. Members rate themselves across all five in the diagnostic, and the result routes them to the programming that will move the needle now.

Meet the Impact Architects

Each pillar is stewarded by an experienced member who hosts its Foundation Pod masterclasses and oversees the quality of its Expert Pods. They are not a membership tier — they are members who took on the role.

Impact Mapping

Work out which Global Goals your business actually touches, and what you would need to measure to say so honestly.

Enduring Resilience

Purpose-led work asks a lot of the people doing it. We build the practices that let members keep going.

Member wellbeing and sustainable practice

Financial Wellbeing

Impact does not pay for itself. Pricing, packaging and a warm pipeline are impact infrastructure.

Pricing and packaging workshop
