IMPACT
MANAGEMENT
Steering organisations efficiently and effectively
In an era of growing complexity and increasing demands for transparency, efficiency and impact, strategic management plays a vital role.
Impact-oriented steering and reporting systems enable organizations to allocate resources purposefully, make progress traceable and actively shape accountability towards stakeholders.
gLAB supports public and civic sector organizations in designing, implementing and further developing such systems – evidence-based, user-centered and conceptually grounded.
What impact-oriented management achieves
Impact-oriented management aligns actions systematically with strategic goals and desired societal change. It fosters evidence-informed decision-making, improves resource allocation, and enhances legitimacy both internally and externally.
Core components include:
- Smart formulation of impact objectives
- Selection of appropriate indicators
- Development of integrated planning, monitoring and reporting systems
- Continuous feedback into steering processes
- Integration of evaluation as a learning-oriented management tool
The result is a learning system that not only measures impact but also makes it possible, through iterative development, task-critical reflection and the diffusion of successful approaches.
Addressing challenges strategically
Implementing impact-oriented management requires more than technical tools. It calls for strategic clarity, data-based foundations, compatible structures, and above all: cultural change.
This includes:
- Aligning organizational, budgetary and impact logics
- Coordinated interaction between leadership, departments and controlling units
- Building trust, competencies and acceptance within teams
- Transparent communication of intended outcomes
Only when these elements come together can steering become a shared approach to organizational development and a lived practice.
