What does it mean to Map Impact?
In the world of social impact, I see:
And as we begin to build this list, we realize…
It gets overwhelming pretty quickly. 😅
We could essentially continue slicing through each layer indefinitely, finding something else to measure or think about each time. I keep going back to it, even as I write this!!
But we already have plenty of information to start making real progress. Now, we can build. (What are you building for the social impact space?)
What I notice while building:
Many problems are solved by mutual solutions. The most foundational ones seem to be
- Unlocking individual joy & potential, and
- Regulating the earth’s climate
Together they can solve nearly all the other problems, making them sort of super-solutions. Make nature & people very healthy.
A visual framework for this project, if it’s helpful
We can think of all the moving parts in this (non-linear) order.
Impact Areas (industries)
contain
Companies/Organizations
which employ
People
to offer
Products & Services
that deliver
Solutions
to
BIG Problems
measured by
Impact Metrics (KPIs)
Why I started Mapping Impact
For me, Mapping Impact is an attempt to make sense of the world as problem-spotters, innovators, and good-doers.
It‘s about using our organizing, analytical, creative minds to understand exactly what we all can do as individuals—and together in groups—to eliminate unnecessary suffering for all, enable all to thrive, and create the paradise from which we came. 😊
