Expert guidance, grounded in practice
Our advisory team has spent 15+ years building impact systems for organisations across sectors. We bring that experience directly to your team, helping you design frameworks, assess evidence, and build the capability to make impact reporting a lasting strategic asset Talk to our teamWhat 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:
EXPERT SUPPORT ACROSS THE FULL IMPACT LIFECYCLE
From first impact case study to board-level reporting – we work alongside you at every stage.
Impact Framework Development
Build a theory of change and impact framework that is evidence-based, stakeholder-informed, and fit for the scrutiny of funders, investors, and assessors. We move beyond generic templates to something that genuinely reflects your work.
Impact Measurement & Reporting
Turn your impact data into reports that are clear, credible, and compelling. We design measurement systems and produce outputs that satisfy LP packs, annual reviews, public disclosures, and board-level scrutiny.
Impact Assessments
Independent, evidence-led assessment of your impact claims. Our assessments are structured, rigorous, and designed to give funders and boards the confidence to act. Used across investment portfolios, grant programmes, and institutional reviews.
Capability & Training
Build lasting impact capability in your team. Our training programmes go beyond theory — grounded in real practice and aligned to your specific context. Delivered in-person, virtually, or embedded in your workflows via Impact Academy.

Forged in real assessment, not theory
Our methodology didn’t come from theory — it was developed to strengthen impact performance in government assessment exercises. Having supported nearly 1,000 impact case studies across sectors, geographies, and impact types, we know what drives measurable, credible impact in practice.
Advisory that embeds, not exits
Most advisory engagements end with a document. Ours end with a working system. The frameworks we develop flow directly into the Hivve platform — so your impact practice becomes part of how you operate, not something filed away after the project closes.
Trusted at global scale
Drawing on our experience and impact reporting methodology, we developed the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings — the world’s most widely used institutional ranking, trusted by 2,500+ universities and organisations worldwide.
Rigour proportionate to your reality
We build for organisations doing real work at real scale. Our approach is rigorous enough to satisfy the toughest scrutiny — and proportionate enough to sustain without a dedicated impact team.
A clear process, from first conversation to lasting impact
1
Discovery
We start by understanding your context, goals, and the audiences whose confidence you need to earn.
2
Design
We co-develop a framework or assessment approach that is genuinely suited to your work — not a generic template.
3
Deliver
We work alongside your team to collect evidence, produce outputs, and build the capability to sustain it independently.
4
Embed
Frameworks and workflows transfer into the Hivve platform — so the engagement becomes lasting practice, not a one-off project.

Start with advisory. Scale with the platform.
Many of our most successful clients start with advisory — building their framework and measurement approach with our team — then migrate to the Hivve software to manage, track, and report at scale.
There’s no gap between how we work in advisory and how the platform is built — they use the same methodology.
Build the foundations
Our team develops your theory of change, indicators, and data requirements — shaped around your context, not a generic template.
Measure and verify
We implement a measurement system, support evidence collection, and produce high quality impact case studies, data and reports that funders., boards and investors can rely on
Scale with Hivve
Your framework transfers directly into Impact Tracker. The same methodology, now embedded in software — so your team can manage, track, and report at scale.
