## Why we do what we do

Read the film as text

1. We all want to know
2. our place in the world.
3. Thin grey lines join dots into a web.
4. We like to believe that what we do is part of something larger.
5. It is.
6. Together we make our surroundings, our brands, our communities.
7. We shape the work of others, as they shape ours.
8. The web grows dense.
9. We live in one web of cause and consequence.
10. Each path tells a story, part of a larger narrative.
11. A system of meaning.
12. So what is our impact?
13. Whose lives do we touch?
14. What changed? For whom? How much? And what part was ours?
15. Intended or not, for better or worse.
16. Knowing that changes what you do next.
17. A dark line draws a path through the web. Impact management helps you see it, steer it, and use it.
18. A large word: Lead. A purple path runs through the web. Lead with purpose, and fund your mission.
19. A large word: Improve. A green path runs through the web. Learn what doesn’t work and design for better.
20. A large word: Engage. A blue-green path runs through the web. Share your story, and bring others into it.
21. A large word: Account. A blue path runs through the web. State your claim, and prove it.
22. A large word: Discover. A yellow path runs through the web. Find your next impact before it happens.
23. “How do you measure impact?”
24. It sounds hard.
25. It isn’t.
26. It’s not about the how.
27. It’s about
28. Portraits of people fill the screen.
29. A large word: Who.
30. About rights-holders, whose lives are touched.
31. And stakeholders, whose choices shape them.
32. The people stand side by side, at the same height. A wave of colour runs through the web. Every voice, every perspective, equally weighed.
33. The web turns many colours. Pluriform and equivalent.
34. Who determines what.
35. And what determines how.
36. That’s it. No more, no less.
37. We count what can be counted, and listen to the rest.
38. Coloured paths wind across the web. We find the stories that connect the dots, and make sense of the whole.
39. We love our craft:
40. to ask the questions,
41. to measure what matters,
42. and narrate what works.
43. One dark path remains. Let’s reveal your path.
44. The word narrate, with the line: impact in numbers and stories.

## What we often hear

“Participants don’t apply at work what they learn with us.”

We help you build assignments around participants’ own organisation, such as a first theory of change or indicator set, so the learning carries over into their work.

“The impact content in our curriculum dates faster than I can update it.”

We keep modules in line with the latest on CSRD, ESRS, VSME and other standards, so you don’t have to follow every change yourself.

“We have no specialist for the impact part of our programme.”

We teach that part ourselves as a guest lecturer or co-trainer, or brief your trainers so they can deliver it themselves.

“Clients ask what our training delivers, and all I have are satisfaction scores.”

Together we follow up what participants do with it afterwards, so you can report learning outcomes to clients and funders, not just satisfaction scores.

## What you may be wondering

Will Narrate take over my programme?

No. You stay the owner of the teaching design. We supply the impact content, or teach that part ourselves.

Won’t participants end up depending on you?

We build assignments around their own organisation. That way they can carry on by themselves after the training.

How does the content stay up to date?

We keep modules current as standards and rules change, including after the EU’s simplification of the CSRD.

## Start with one guest lecture in your programme

Jeroen gives a lecture on impact management, tailored to your participants. You see how it lands before you build a module together.
