Map local needs and outcomes
Connect issues, policy measures, target groups and expected outcomes.
For Local Governments
Measure outcomes from local initiatives
Help local governments and regional partners connect community priorities, public-private initiatives, outcome metrics and evidence-based reporting.
VALUE
Connect local policy priorities to measurable outcomes
Policies addressing local challenges should do more than describe projects: they need visible outcomes that can be shared with corporate partners, residents and government departments.

Clearly communicate social value and KPIs.
Report and improve outcomes
Keep updating activities and results to inform the next initiative.
ISSUES
Challenges we help address
Examine common operational challenges through the lens of impact data, models and processes.
Social value is difficult to convey
Links between local challenges and policies get lost in descriptions of budgets and activities.
Inconsistent project information
Metrics and reporting formats differ by department and project.
Weak communication with partners
Companies lack information to compare and understand local initiatives.
One-off outcome reporting
Results and lessons are difficult to carry across fiscal years.
