WHO SHOULD APPLY
Impact In Motion is open to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations and for-profit companies leading initiatives with meaningful social or environmental impact.
Strong applications will typically involve a live initiative with:
-
executive accountability
-
a meaningful outcome or commitment
-
enough execution complexity to warrant an outside review
-
an important reason to act now
-
existing information that can support the analysis
-
the capacity to use the findings
Pre-launch intiatives may qualify
when the intended outcome, delivery approach, roles, dependencies, and commitments are already sufficiently defined to evaluate execution risk.
THIS INITIATIVE MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT IF:
You are primarily looking for:
Product or market strategy
Marketing support
Technology selection
Service design
General strategic planning
Full organizational maturity assesssment
Implemenation staffing or additional hands
The review examines whether the current delivery environment can produce the expected outcome. It does not determine whether the underlying product, strategy, technology, or market choice is the right one.
PARTICIPATION EXPECTATIONS
Because the review is fully sponsored, selected organizations are expected to participate actively in the process.
provide executive-level participation
designate a primary contact
provide access to relevant existing information
participate actively during the review
provide feedback on the experience
be willing to share learning from the engagment in a mutually agreed form
