Most organizations say they make a difference. Few can prove it.
Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) has moved from a niche practice to a boardroom imperative, driven by investor scrutiny, funder expectations, and growing demand for accountability. Yet many still measure what’s easy, not what matters.In this talk, Bryn Sadownik, Senior Manager of Research & Evaluation at Vancity Community Foundation, and Md Islam, IMM researcher and impact consultant, cut through the noise. Drawing on field-tested frameworks and real consulting experience, they share practical insights on building IMM systems that work—from Theory of Change to actionable data pipelines.
