Impact Pathways & Models
Clarity on how change happens is the foundation for achieving it.
Caribou works with organizations to map how strategies connect to outcomes and to the wider systems they influence. Our impact pathways reflect the connections, feedback loops, and relationships that shape change in the world.
Through evidence synthesis, sector expertise, and strategic foresight, we test assumptions collaboratively and use participatory design to bring diverse voices into the process. Our impact pathways are built on the best available evidence and plausible future scenarios, providing organizations with a rigorous and credible foundation for informed decisions.
What to expect
- Evidence-based theories of change co-created with teams and grounded in sector expertise and delivery realities.
- Impact pathways that reflect complexity and interconnections, while remaining usable for planning, learning, and adaptation.
- Foresight-informed models that incorporate plausible futures thinking to keep strategies resilient over time.
- Shared impact narratives that align stakeholders and provide a common language for strategy, learning, and forming a foundation that can feed into clear impact storytelling and communication.
