The practical framework for navigating change.
Every institutional challenge starts with an objective.
The Impact Model helps academic leaders understand where they are today, determine where to focus and coordinate the actions needed to make progress.
Its five connected enablers provide a common framework for planning, decision-making and measuring outcomes.
Use the model as a whole or start with the enabler that best matches your challenge.
