EVERY ORGANISATION CLAIMS IMPACT. ALMOST NONE CAN PROVE IT. YOU CAN DESIGN IT.
Impact has become the most used and least understood word in business, and the gap between what organisations say they change and what they actually change keeps widening.
Berfu Ege Sobe, a leading voice in the impact space, wrote the book that the field has been missing. As a global development and impact advisor and board director, she has watched well-funded programmes and ambitious companies fail to achieve impact while others succeed greatly and make history. The reason is clear and consistent.
Impact lasts only when an action works on four dimensions at once, environment, economy, society, and individual. Sobe calls this the Impact Compass, and Impact by Design turns it into a working method any professional can pick up and use on Monday morning.
The book also settles what impact actually is, a question most leaders get wrong. Outputs are what you produce. Outcomes are what people start to do differently. Impact is the lasting change in real conditions that follows, measured against what would have happened without you.
Inside the book
* How to tell real impact from expensive noise, so you stop investing in work that looks good and changes nothing
* The four-point impact test to run before you commit money, people, or reputation
* Practical building and measurement tools and standards you can use
* How to dissect any lasting change in history and see exactly why it held, then reverse-engineer it for your own work
* Why most corporate and ESG efforts fail to create real impact, and the design choices that keep yours from joining them
* A shared language for impact that works across a startup, a boardroom, a portfolio, and a public agency
Great work is measured by what it leaves behind, even in the most complex contexts. The leaders who understand this stop chasing activities that look good today and start designing impact that lasts for years. Impact by Design gives founders, executives, and investors the framework and the tools to build for the longer horizon, starting the day they finish it.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
