impactlake™ powered by AI

Since its official release last December, we have been receiving feedback from investors (institutional investors and venture capitalists) and business companies (including start-ups), and have been developing more effective functions, especially from the practical viewpoint of impact management. As a major update, we are pleased to announce the release of an automated function utilizing AI, which we have been testing and developing for some time.

With this, impactlake™, which has been offered as an “impact management tool,” will be positioned as an “impact management agent” for more individualized and flexible operations, based on the concept of “eliminating the need for personalization in the formal aspects of impact management. The company’s impactlake™ will be positioned as an “impact management agent” for more individualized and flexible operations, and will play a broader role in operations for the execution of sustainability strategies.

Background

The importance of sustainability management has become a given fact for many companies. On the other hand, many companies are still trying to integrate these efforts into their management strategies, utilize them in business and investment decision-making, and promote them as part of their corporate culture to their employees and stakeholders. In this context, we understand that the concept of impact (not a word) can function as a common language for multi-stakeholders in the creation of corporate and social value.

On the other hand, it is also true that there are still challenges in impact management from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, and IMPACTLAKE has been providing various services to help institutional investors, business companies, and other impact generators overcome such hurdles. We will continue to expand these activities in the future. As such activities are expected to expand further in the future, IMPACTLAKE has developed this solution to enable a gradual shift from outsourcing to self-management and in-house production, and to improve company-wide understanding and awareness of impact management, by enabling those who create impact to accumulate their own know-how and information. The solution was developed to enable a gradual shift from outsourcing to in-house production and to improve company-wide understanding and awareness of impact management.

The development of the methodology is based on IMPACTLAKE’s knowledge of impact management at various stages and in various industries through various types of support, and reflects the methodology developed through collaboration* with major institutional investors and academic institutions with the aim of establishing impact management from a practical viewpoint. While further development and integration of methods in this area is expected in the future, IMPACTLAKE and impactlake™ will continue to examine the various frameworks and functions from a practical perspective.

*Refference:The Evolution of Impact Accounting and Utilization of Logic-Model in Corporate Strategy

Detail

The UPDATE adds functions such as automatic judgment and information output using AI to the existing impact management functions, especially for areas with a high degree of flexibility (e.g., initiatives and target issue areas that differ from user to user). (Additional functions will be released in due course.)

Automated Logicmodel Building

  • Enter information (free text allowed) about the activity to be evaluated and managed
  • Based on the responses, a standard model provided by the company or a model defined by the user himself/herself that has the potential to contribute is identified, and a logic model is automatically created
  • A conventional questionnaire-style wizard can also be used in parallel. Conventional survey-type wizards can also be used in parallel.

Automated Report Issuing

  • Logic models and KPIs organized qualitatively and quantitatively by the impact management function are imported.
  • Based on the input information, content is automatically output according to a template structure that matches the purpose. (Templates will be added sequentially.)
  • Update and proofread based on automatically output information, and output proofread content in various formats (.pptx, .docx, .html)
  • Finalize reports (including design) and Web pages directly as needed.

Analysis of Future Financial Impact

  • Models are available not only for external economic impact (social impact), but also for the impact on the company’s future finances.
  • The time horizon and scope of impact can be set as appropriate, and Monte Carlo simulations can also be performed. Results can be viewed on a dashboard.

Others (Released soon)

  • Impact management assistant functionality using AI that has already learned various types of information related to impact management
  • Output format support and workflow functionality for external certification
  • etc…

IMPACTLAKE will continue to promote the development of solutions that contribute to impact management.

Business Alliance with Edge International

IMPACTLAKE has entered into a strategic business alliance agreement with Edge International, Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshitaka Aso), Japanese Leading IR support firm, to strengthen corporate transformation (CX) support for client companies.

As an IR support company with a top-class track record in the industry, Edge International, Inc. has been helping client companies build a corporate value enhancement story that appeals to their uniqueness and future potential through the production of integrated reports. With the spread of integrated reports and the development of a framework for ESG information disclosure, the information disclosed by companies has been expanded, and dialogue with investors and other stakeholders has become more fulfilling. At the same time, it will become increasingly important to explain more logically how the information is related to the uniqueness and future potential of the company. In addition, a logical growth story and quality content drawn from information collected extensively while working with the client company will become a powerful tool to support corporate reform not only in the area of information disclosure, but also in terms of human resources, organization, and business.

Through this strategic business alliance, the two firms will further improve the quality of corporate communications by making the growth stories of existing and new clients more logical and actionable. Furthermore, we aim to realize sustainable and competitive management of Japanese companies by combining “verbalization and storytelling” with “impact management support”.

IMPACTLAKE will continue various initiatives and collaborations in the field to promote the simultaneous achievement of social value creation and sustainable growth for companies, contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.
