Impact Frameworks: measuring impact for not-for-profits
An impact framework is a structured approach that orgs connect day-to-day activities to the long-term change they aim to create. It’s about mapping how those actions lead to meaningful outcomes and impact over time.
Streamlining Healthcare: The Role of Care Pathways

Co-design readiness: Organisation capability
The 'co-design capability' domain focuses on the skills, tools, and mindset within the organisation to effectively engage in co-design.
Co-design readiness: Strength of co-design practice
The domain of 'co-design practice' is centred around the practical implementation of co-design. This is likely the domain that most people associate with 'co-design' — preparing to deliver and facilitating co-design activities.
Co-design readiness: policies and frameworks
'Policies and Frameworks' are structural elements within an organisation that either facilitate or obstruct co-design efforts. Effective co-design is not an accidental achievement but a result of well-thought-out policies and frameworks.
Co-design readiness: Allocating Resources
The 'Resource Allocation' domain examines the organisation's commitment to allocate necessary financial, time, and spatial resources for effective co-design.
Co-design readiness: Leadership
The 'Leadership' domain of our Organisational Co-design Readiness Assessment tool focuses on the organisational commitment to support co-design at a leadership level, including the operational readiness and willingness to engage in shared decision-making.
Co-design readiness: Organisation Culture
Organisational culture is the foundation that can either support or hinder co-design efforts. It's about the shared values, beliefs and practices that guide how employees engage in co-design processes.
Co-design Readiness: Strong Relationships
To effectively implement co-design processes, it's essential for an organisation to have strong relationships. Strong relationships refer to the level of trust and credibility an organisation has established with its target communities, stakeholders, and within its sector.
