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.
What We Do Best

Our commitment is to involve people with lived experience in the design, implementation and assessment of all programs; thereby ensuring CSR programs that reflect the priorities and perspectives of people with the first-hand experience.
Demonstrated Experience

Global Perspective
Hailing from countries including Poland, the United Kingdom, Chile and India, impakt’s work is informed by the members of our Global Advisory Council. Providing academic and practical perspectives, Impakt’s Advisory Council includes diverse social leaders who convene to share their practices, research, and expand impakt’s reach across borders.

PARACHUTE
Impakt removes the line between insider and outsider by quickly and sensitively understanding our issues (and limitations). Impakt was genuinely interested in helping us develop and shape our progress in a way that was beneficial to our entire organization.
LESLIE QUINTON

Impakt is diligent and transparent. Interested in dialogue and creative in developing solutions. They are a safe pair of hands. Most other organizations lack depth and insight so solutions tend to be generic.
