Consulting
Boot Your Impact.
As the relationship between ESG and corporate value is being proven from multiple perspectives, the importance of impact, especially as a positive aspect, is increasing and is now expected to become the new lingua franca both internally and externally. It is envisaged that it will become the new common language within and outside the company.
Accordingly, ‘impact’ will be added to the axes of decision-making and expression in management, business and investment activities. In other words, when making decisions and formulating strategies, it is necessary to consider the size of impact as a third axis, in addition to the conventional evaluation axes of marketability and competitive advantage, or to consider ‘consistency with strategy’ and ‘consistency with the company’s philosophy’ from an impact perspective. It is also important to include impact as a core element in internal and external communication.
Consulting Services
The basis for these studies is the visualisation of an impact model (logic model) that shows the company’s impact creation path and the quantification of the impact created by the company’s activities and plans. IMPACTLAKE supports impact modelling and impact evaluation/quantification based on systematised know-how and knowledge, and also provides various consulting services around the same themes.

- Knowledge and strengths in how to integrate and mutually utilise the perspectives of both corporate evaluation (from the investor’s perspective) and management strategy (from the company’s perspective), rather than in isolation.
- Support for the development and implementation of strategies for solving social issues and creating impact for both companies and investors, as well as experience in quantitative evaluation of these strategies.
Leading Company
Corporate Strategy
Rather than imposing general frameworks and standards for impact, we have been able to develop an evaluation and utilisation system that is compliant with them, but with a more than sufficient understanding of practice and objectives.
Rapid assessment using digital tool preset models.
- In practice, it makes no sense at all to spend time on the evaluation itself, so it is most important to complete the evaluation as quickly as possible and to spend time on interpretation and considering actions based on it.
- We use not only our experience and knowledge, but also specific assets such as tools and logic models to complete the initial evaluation in the shortest possible time.
Venture Capital
Executive
Impact evaluations used to be very time-consuming, but the evaluation itself can now be completed in as little as 1-2 weeks with a standardised system, expanding the scope of strategic use.
One-stop, continuous and flexible parallelism for the realisation of the purposes.
- In this theme, which requires medium- to long-term initiatives, it is not a one-off organisational study, but contributes to the establishment of a system and Ops using the impact. management tools developed by the company.
- As a result, it also contributes to internal culture building, etc. We can also handle other derivative themes and strategy building, and contribute to the realisation of SX.
Asset Management
Fund Manager
The increase in the number of investment targets and indicators to be managed was impractical in traditional IMM, but now full-fledged impact management can be achieved by building Ops on the premise of the tool.
