Challenge
Casa do Impacto is Portugal's leading innovation and start-up hub. It supports, with an ecosystem of solutions, social entrepreneurs in business acceleration and incubation processes; pre-seed and seed investment; and challenges with funds and companies interested in open innovation.
Although they already had a robust and consistent performance, they needed to have greater clarity of your social impact strategy in the short, medium and long term.
To this end, Transforma.ai's developed a project to create a strategy for planning, monitoring and managing the results and impacts of projects supported by the institution.
Solution
The work with Transforma.aí was developed in four steps:
1- Diagnosis of internal and secondary data:
immersion to understand the organisation's current situation, its history and vision for the future
2- Theory of Change:
a process of collectively building the organisation's impact planning
3- Indicator matrix:
structuring of impact and outcome indicators to be monitored in project follow-up
4- Customisation and application of the BSC - Balanced Scorecard
for technical evaluation of projects
Results and deliverables
Theory of Change aligned with business objectives and impact, which contributed to an accurate forecast of the institution's results and impacts.
Clear definition of analytical processes project planning, monitoring and evaluation
Effective communication with stakeholders: impact strategy translated into an educational visual document
