Building Out Your Impact Framework

Within the Define stage of our DeCAL Methodology, UpMetrics will guide you through the creation of a strategic and effective Impact Framework, which enables you to define and operationalize how you measure and communicate your social or environmental impact both internally and externally.

In alignment with your organization's Vision, Mission, and Values, we'll help you select the right Key Impact Indicators (KIIs) to track within a number of different dimensions that will enable you to measure progress towards your goals.

Dimensions of Impact

  • Who: Who are you serving - e.g Demographics / characteristics, # of recipients
  • What: What are you delivering and how much - e.g Product, services, capital 
  • Quality: What is the quality of your delivery - e.g NPS, utilization, retention  
  • Better Off: How are those who you are serving better off? 
  • Community Contribution: With a lens of contribution (vs. attribution) you'll select community level measures that you want to track within your impact theme to support your strategy and execution
