eImpact: A (Data) Extension of Your Team
Who has the time to use data tools to good effect?
Many organizations we talk to have licensed different data tools to collect information on the economy, workforce or demographics. Their success in these undertakings ranges, but this recent client quote summarizes the situation well:
We paid a pretty large fee for a popular data tool but didn't use it to anywhere its full capability. We struggled to finish the project because of our interrupt-driven weekly schedule. In the end, who has the time and expertise to learn to use these complicated data tools?
From the beginning, we envisioned eImpact as an extension of our clients' team. Everybody wants and needs data to do their jobs, whether its advocacy or business recruitment and retention, but the reality is most organizations are not (yet) set up to handle these specialized projects.
Below are a couple client examples where eImpact helped deliver critical data and reports on a tight schedule.
A few examples of analysis performed by eImpact
- Policy Impact
When a large tax was proposed on the hospital system in Oregon, a leading advocacy group came to eImpact to quickly analyze and report the potential economic and societal impact. This analysis helped the organization rise above the noise of the debate with real numbers, aiding in their discussions with lawmakers and the media.

- Understanding Housing Affordability
How can you create effective policy without understanding the issue based on real data? This was the question our client asked themselves before turning to us for help running the numbers. By providing stakeholders with a picture of the current affordability landscape, they were able to help move the issue forward towards a policy solution.
