Impact driven approach enables resource allocation during the project based on impact which not only enables cost-effectiveness reporting but also maximizes the cost-effectiveness of resources. The difference is significant compared to a traditional impact assessment, where no guidance is provided. Impact driven approach enables and supports the use of effective management models, such as collective impact
The National Brain Health Programme
The programme examines brain health through the operating environments of three age groups: children and young people, people of working age, and seniors. The programme is steered by a proactive approach with emphasis on protective factors, and effectiveness, and it is thereby unique on a global scale. The new perspective on brain health covers brain wellbeing and functional ability.
The impact goal of the programme: A humanly sustainable community that promotes brain health. The impact goal is divided into smaller, target group-specific sub-goals.
Builder’s of the Everyday – program
The impact goal is safe everyday life for children, young people and the elderly. The program's operating method is innovative; organizations do not have to compete for funding, but work together, sharing insights and expertise. The three-year funding gives organizations the opportunity to work towards common goals. The sponsor, The Päivikki and Sakari Sohlberg Foundation, does not just act as a passive money machine, but as an idea generator, convener and partner. The program is based on dialogue between the private and public sectors and the construction of flexible service paths between them.
Impact driven approach guides service activities to achieve the goal. For example: the organizations began cooperation with the City of Vantaa and the Vantaa and Kerava Welfare Region in spring 2023. It was soon discovered that the selected area, Havukoski, has a large immigrant population and plans should be adapted to better meet their needs. Currently eleven non-profits are building the Havukoski area in collaboration with residents, for example, planning and offering recreational and other activity opportunities.
