Expert advice. Clear leadership.
Impact Right combines development advisory, project leadership and applied AI expertise. We help institutions shape programmes, lead technical work and coordinate delivery, bringing teams and evidence together around clear objectives and measurable results.
Development results
The right impact starts with a clear understanding of the change a programme is intended to achieve. We connect objectives, results frameworks and evaluation questions so that evidence serves that purpose. Our work spans focused technical projects, portfolio reviews and institutional approaches to managing for results.
Project leadership
You work directly with the specialist leading your project. We set a clear direction, coordinate contributors and maintain accountability for agreed deliverables, from the initial brief to implementation and handover.
Our expertise
From programme design to evidence and learning
Development consulting is our primary focus. We provide technical leadership for focused projects and broader advisory programmes, shaping the work around institutional priorities and coordinating the expertise needed to deliver it.
Results-based management
Develop theories of change, results chains and results frameworks that connect activities to intended outcomes. Define indicators, baselines, targets and verification sources, with monitoring responsibilities that teams can put into practice.
Monitoring, evaluation & learning
Lead evaluation planning and delivery: shape the questions, assess evaluability and develop evaluation designs and matrices. Coordinate evidence collection, synthesis and analysis for midterm and completion evaluations, with findings and recommendations that inform policy and practice.
Programme design & strategic advisory
Lead programme design and strategic reviews: clarify the development problem, examine intervention options and test the logic behind a proposed programme. Develop concept notes and technical assistance designs, making assumptions, risks and intended results explicit.
Portfolio performance & results reporting
Review progress across projects and programmes, identify gaps in results evidence and bring performance findings together. Prepare portfolio reviews, management briefs and completion reporting that explain achievements, constraints and priorities for action.
Research & institutional learning
Turn document reviews, stakeholder consultations and evaluation findings into useful knowledge. Develop evidence syntheses, thematic reviews, learning briefs and practical guidance to support policy dialogue and future programme choices.
Capacity development & advisory support
Help teams apply RBM and evaluation in their day-to-day work. Develop workshops, guidance and working templates; facilitate discussions on results; and provide advisory support as teams strengthen monitoring, reporting and learning practices.
Project delivery & AI adoption
Lead the change. Demonstrate the value.
We lead projects that turn institutional priorities into operational improvements and put AI to work in practice. Our role spans project planning and delivery, stakeholder coordination, business process improvement and the adoption of new ways of working.
Project management & delivery
Lead advisory, digital transformation and operational improvement projects from inception to handover. Define the scope, workplan, budget and governance; coordinate institutional teams, technical specialists and suppliers; and manage risks, dependencies and delivery milestones. Support stakeholder engagement, quality assurance and change management, with clear reporting on progress and the benefits the project is intended to deliver.
AI adoption & operational transformation
Lead AI initiatives from use-case identification and readiness assessment through pilot delivery, evaluation and wider adoption. Prioritise opportunities, develop business cases and implementation roadmaps, and coordinate business, IT and data teams. Applications include AI-assisted research and document review, institutional knowledge retrieval, project reporting and workflow automation. Build in data access controls, source traceability, human oversight and staff training, and measure quality, efficiency and uptake before scaling.
Our delivery capability also includes software and web development, analytics and digital marketing where these are needed within a project brief.
How we work
A clear brief. Evidence you can use.
01 / Define
We establish the project’s objectives, scope and intended results with your team. We agree the methods, deliverables and review points, with clear ownership, governance and responsibilities from the outset.
02 / Assess
We work with the available documents, data and stakeholder perspectives. We make assumptions and evidence gaps explicit, and distinguish what the findings support from what remains uncertain.
03 / Deliver
We deliver analysis, frameworks and recommendations in a form your team can use. For implementation and AI projects, we lead delivery, manage testing and user feedback, and support adoption, with clear handover arrangements and measures of performance.
