Impakt’s Advisory Services
Impakt has partnered with some of the world’s leading corporations to help solve social problems. We recognize that every organization has an inherent culture, a specific business mission, and a unique audience that requires more than an “off the shelf” approach.
Our specialized process engages clients as direct co-creators, while also maintaining practicality for them.
Having direct experience in designing and scaling innovative social change programs. Impakt is uniquely informed to help clients solve social problems. Importantly, Impakt’s approach is also informed by our ongoing Change for Good conversations with corporate and civil society leaders from around the world.
Most importantly, every project we work on is informed by people with lived experience of the problems we are aiming to solve.
