# Strategy

Everything has an impact, but you can’t measure everything. We help you to focus on the impact that matters most to your organisation, and how to communicate that impact, so that you stand out from the crowd.

### ***We believe***

As the name suggests impact is key to an impact start up. To ensure that an organisation is creating a meaningful impact, it's important to measure its progress towards its desired outcomes. This means setting clear goals, tracking its performance, and using qualitative and quantitative data to make informed decisions about how to improve your impact over time. Not only this communicating the impact you are making helps to attract the best talent, loyal customers and high quality partnerships.

### **The challenge for impact start ups**

Understanding impact can feel like a large, complicated and unwieldy task. It can feel as if you should be measuring millions of data points from CO2 emissions to employees and customer satisfaction. But for start ups that just isn't feasible, it would take up too many costs and resources. The question is then what are the absolutely key things to measure and communicate? here there are many different frameworks, tools and software available to help. This is again creates more work, and takes up valuable resource in finding the right things to use.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.elsewhere.team/the-work/our-services/strategy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
