The Accreditation Process
In Place Impact has designed a number of unique and proprietary tools that allow Impact Economics Certified Consultants to accredit organizations as being part of the Impact Economics network within their own communities and across the world.
Businesses - The Corporate Impact Index
The Corporate Impact Index (CII) is an online consulting tool comprised of +/- 150 questions broken into 7 segments. Identity, Profit, Brand Equity & Value, Corporate Culture, People, Purpose, and Planet. Each section is replete with questions that touch every aspect of a business where each answer is scored based upon 30-years of work into best practices in each area.
Business and corporations retain Impact Economics Certified Consultants to be put them through the CII, the result of which is a score for each section, and overall score, and an in-depth report showing the business owners and leaders where they are today, and where they could be tomorrow.
Corporations or businesses scoring 80% or above are immediately accredited, those scoring less have the option to further retain the consultant so that scores of 80% can be obtained. The data clearly shows that companies with scores of 80% or above have:
-
The highest margins, profits, brand equities, brand values, and employee and client/customer retention rates
