For our prioritised opportunity, is there an opening in the market that will allow us to be competitive and create value for our organisation?
How can we
build a sustainable and impactful business?
4. Invest
How do we raise the necessary funds (internal or external) and what returns can we expect to receive (financial, social, community)?
3. Impact
What resources are required to create and grow a new product or business model that delivers profitable and sustainable outcomes?
Investing for Impact is our methodology to support clients make decisions around investing in new social businesses and products. Our methodology takes clients through four gated phases which consider the market and category to target, the development of a business model that can be competitive and sustainable, the investment required and likely returns and a plan to raise capital and launch the business. We have supported a range of clients that have launched technology businesses, consulting services, NDIS consulting, retailing and industry collaboration services.
