1 Identify your system

The first step is to identify the system that you want to evaluate your impact on. This could be your team, department, company, sector, or even a broader social or environmental issue. Think about what is the main purpose or function of this system, who are the key stakeholders and beneficiaries, and what are the main challenges and opportunities it faces. You can use a simple diagram or map to visualize the system and its components, such as actors, resources, processes, feedback loops, and external factors.

I absolutely love building systems. Taking time to think about what works for your time, team and the training involved is critical. I have been through corporate trainings where we're equipping cross-functional teams into new systems and processes to elevate the user experience with new tools and technology. It's hard, don't get me wrong. However, helping teams visualize ServiceNow, the benefits, the "how to" usage experience and rewarding actions along the way, helped up for digital transformation within the organization across a handful of cross-functional teams. Never underestimate giftcards to reward learning behavior within new team environments.

2 Define your impact

The next step is to define what impact means for you and your system. Impact is the difference you make by being part of the system, or the value you create or deliver to the system. It can be measured by various indicators, such as quality, efficiency, innovation, satisfaction, or sustainability. You need to clarify what are the desired outcomes and impacts for your system, and how they align with your own personal and professional values and goals. You can use a logic model or theory of change to articulate your impact hypothesis and assumptions.

3 Assess your contribution

The third step is to assess how you contribute to the impact of your system. This means looking at your inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes, and how they relate to the system's performance and impact. You can use a balanced scorecard or dashboard to track and evaluate your contribution, based on quantitative and qualitative data and feedback. You should also consider the positive and negative effects of your contribution, both intended and unintended, and how they affect different parts of the system.

4 Identify gaps and opportunities

The fourth step is to identify the gaps and opportunities for improving your impact. This means comparing your current contribution with your desired impact, and finding out what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that affect your impact. You can use a SWOT analysis or a gap analysis to identify the areas where you need to improve or leverage your skills, knowledge, resources, relationships, or influence. You should also look for the root causes and leverage points that can help you address the systemic issues and challenges that limit your impact.

Situational awareness is your friend when identifying gaps and opportunities. Widen perspective, zoom out and reflect on the systemic connections within your ecosystem. Your work and the collective work can help or hinder the end-goal and organizational objectives.

5 Design and implement solutions

The fifth step is to design and implement solutions that can enhance your impact. This means creating and testing new ideas, strategies, or actions that can help you close the gaps and seize the opportunities for improving your impact. You can use a design thinking or agile approach to prototype and iterate your solutions, based on user feedback and evidence. You should also consider the potential risks and trade-offs of your solutions, and how they might affect other parts of the system.

6 Monitor and learn

The sixth step is to monitor and learn from your impact. This means collecting and analyzing data and feedback on your solutions, and evaluating their effectiveness and efficiency. You can use a monitoring and evaluation or learning framework to measure and report your impact, based on indicators and targets. You should also reflect on your learnings and insights, and how they can inform your future actions and decisions. You should also share your learnings and best practices with others in your system, and seek feedback and collaboration to improve your impact.
