What you can do to prepare
Creating impact adoption across your institution or even department can seem daunting, but there are lots of methods and strategies to achieve this, and they are often interconnected. Below are some examples to consider:
Impact Advisory Services and Training
Strategic Consultancy
We help organisations identify their most significant impact areas and develop tailored strategies to effectively measure, report, and realise this impact.
Fund Design
We assist in defining clear criteria for your fund and how these translate into the setup and administration of the fund, to ensure accurate impact reporting and meaningful outcomes.
Impact Case Studies (ICS)
Impact Case Studies are critical to demonstrating your impact, and in some cases are tied to funding. We help you through selection, planning, reviewing, mapping and polishing.
ImpactAcademy
Our training suite, Impact Academy, comprises CPD-accredited eLearning and eight-week training courses, as well as free webinars to support your understanding of impact.
Impact Planning
The further you move along the impact journey, the more integrated impact becomes into your strategy and day-to-day operations. We can support you in analysing your organisational strategy and embedding impact into your planning in order to move more quickly and efficiently along the journey.
Impact Mapping
Your organisation may be creating all sorts of impact that you are either unaware of or unable to measure. Through our impact mapping services we can identify where impact is occurring and create structures for capturing, measuring and reporting this going forward.

Customer success stories
We equip our customers with the resources to achieve excellence in research impact assessments globally.
The University of Oxford continued to work with Vertigo Ventures (now after they were able to help us investigate new areas of impact we had not previously considered, engage with various stakeholders to collect, verify and demonstrate the impact of our research and they added value overall. Throughout the project Vertigo Ventures were pleasant to work with, took our comments on board and delivered the project on time.
