Impact doesn’t measure itself

Outdoor target practice setup on a metal board placed on grass, with a paper archery-style target showing coloured bullseye rings and a hit near the centre; white text on the right reads “IMPACT DOESN’T MEASURE ITSELF.”

I heard a CEO the other day, in a corporate video, say:

“Strategy without impact is a piece of paper.”

Fair enough. But if measuring impact isn’t written into the strategy from the start, the strategy was never serious.

Most organisations plan the intervention, but nobody plans the evidence.

If you didn’t design for evidence capture, you can’t measure it.
