"Purpose is the difference you want to make.
Impact is the difference you actually make.
Legacy is the difference you are remembered for making."
Janna Jorgensen, TEDx Speaker and Creator of the Human Impact Framework
A framework to help you create a meaningful impact and a lasting legacy
The Human Impact Framework (HIF), a meaning-making and action-taking tool to help individuals and organizations move from purpose to impact to legacy more effectively and naturally. It helps to close the knowing and doing gap by bridging intended impacts over time with actual impacts at critical points in-time. It increases clarity, creates momentum, and restores balance. And it does so in a way that embraces the full humanity of the experience for the humans at the heart of impact.
The HIF serves as a creative canvas for you to envision, experiment with, and excel at human impact.
This is the BASIC Human Impact Framework Canvas, which you can start using today for FREE!
Why the HIF Works
Unlocks purpose
There is a lock-and-key relationship between purpose and impact. Impact is the key that unlocks your purpose to give you a greater sense of direction, meaning, and fulfilment. When you have a clear sense of purpose but not an impact, you feel frustrated and blocked. But when you have a purpose AND an impact you unlock your potential and get a greater sense of meaning, accomplishment, and fulfilment.
Adds context to purpose
The HIF starts with your purpose and goes deeper. It reveals who your purpose matters for, why it matters to them, your vision for their better future, and how you and/or your team can create incremental impacts at critical points in-time that will lead to greater impact over-time.
Tells your story of impact
Every HIF tells an inspiring and unique story of impact. Your story is revealed through a beautiful constellation of conversations that puts those you seek to impact as the protagonists, and you as a benevolent force that tips fortune in their favor at key stages of their journey. It represents your highest aspirations for making a difference in the world while you make a difference for yourself.
Complements other approaches
Impact can happen many ways, at many scales, and over time. The HIF complements rather than replaces other trusted ways of generating, planning, measuring and evaluating impact.
Helps you seize the moment
The HIF brings human-to-human, present-tense thinking to the party. It elevates the important of high-potential moments for impact. Futures are forged in these moments! The HIF provides a compelling framework that helps you more consistently anticipate, create and navigate these high-potential moments at critical points in-time, making it more likely that you can amplify your impact over-time.

Human Impact Framework for
Teams & Organizations
The majority of teams and organizations don’t have a strategy problem, they have an alignment problem that shows up in execution.
When how people show up is inconsistent, unclear, or misaligned … even the best strategy starts to break down.
The Hill we're Prepared to Die on
Impact is not just an outcome; it's an experience.
You already know this. You've probably seen entire strategies, partnerships, or sales fall apart in a moment because no one followed-up, someone mis-spoke, or someone wasn't consulted.
Humans don't just generate impact. Humans experience impact. This means impact flows both ways, not just one way.
Treating impact as just a one-way outcome achieved over-time is at the root of the problem. We need to treat it also as something that happens at critical points-in-time between humans so those long term outcomes can be achieved. And we need to factors in the humans involved in value delivery in a way that is regenerative, not extractive.
Traditional approaches worked fine before the world changed so significantly. But for these times, business strategies and human strategies are too disconnected. They need to be integrated without losing their value and practicality.
The Human Impact Framework establishes an integrated infrastructure within which humans can navigate impact while it's happening.
Increasingly, organizations are adopting a new approach to impact - one that factors in the humans involved in the transaction in a way that is regenerative, not extractive.
The Human Impact Framework establishes an infrastructure within which humans can navigate impact while it's happening.
Are you actually delivering the value you have invested so heavily in creating? If not, maybe it's time to focus more on value delivery.
Where traditional approaches focus on value creation, the Human Impact Framework focuses on value delivery. And it factors in both sides of the impact equation - the difference you make and the effort it takes. This results in a more realistic and grounded approach to achieving impact.
The uncomfortable truth:
-
About 75 - 80% of strategies fail upon execution
-
Your strategy isn’t what’s written down; it's what actually gets carried out day-by- day, moment-to-moment
-
Misalignment doesn’t look dramatic; it looks like friction, delay, rework, and missed potential. "Organizational drag" is a real thing.
-
People don't need to understand more of the "business or organization logic," businesses and organizations need to understand more of the "people logic"
-
You don’t get the culture you design; you get the culture people experience
-
Under pressure, people don’t rise to intention; they default to comfort and habit
Most organizations try to solve this with more communication, more incentives, performance management, or another offsite.
But if people don’t share a clear, lived understanding of the impact they’re meant to create those efforts don’t stick.
This is where the Human Impact Framework (HIF) is different
The HIF doesn’t sit alongside your strategy, culture, or leadership approach.
It connects them through how people actually show up and create impact every day.
It gives your organization a shared, practical language for impact so that:
-
Leaders are aligned in how they show up under pressure
-
Teams interpret priorities the same way and act on them more consistently
-
Individuals understand how their work connects to something meaningful
-
Strategy becomes something people can execute, not just understand
What this unlocks:
-
Real alignment across leaders, teams, and departments
-
Faster, clearer decision-making in complex environments
-
Stronger ownership and follow-through without constant oversight
-
Improved client and stakeholder experience because impact is intentional
-
A way to evolve how your organization works without starting from scratch
Who this is for
Organizations that are:
-
Serious about their impact but know it’s not fully landing
-
Navigating complexity, pressure, or change that’s exposing cracks
-
Frustrated with traditional approaches that sound right but don’t hold
-
Ready for a more honest, practical way to create alignment and traction
The bottom line
If how your organization actually operates doesn’t match what it says it values
that gap will keep costing you.
The Human Impact Framework helps you close it.
In a way your people can understand, use, and sustain.

Power up with the
Human Impact Advantage
Here are some of our favorite ways the HIF can super-charge your business, organization, or approach.
Strategy
Anchor your strategy in the thousands of moments that bring it to life
The HIF can help humans bring strategies to life. One of the highest value applications of the HIF is when it is used to bridge the gap between strategy creation and implementation. In this use case, it serves as a meaning-making and action-taking key for the collective. It helps those tasked with executing and monitoring the strategy to anticipate, focus execute, and learn in moments critical to achieving long term results.
Branding
Ground your brand promise in the impacts you can actually deliver
An undelivered brand promise is the silent killer of client loyalty. The HIF can help you clarify your brand, but it can do more than that. It helps you discern between on aspirational and actual impact while serving as your activation blueprint for greater clarity, consistency, alignment, and learning across teams and the organization.
Concept Mapping
Map your concept or model to the impacts you hope to generate
The "Model HIF" canvas can help you map your business or operating model to its desired human aspects. This version of HIF is useful when a high degree of alignment, clarity, and purpose are needed for specific use cases, for example when you are:
-
introducing a new leadership, business, or operating model or concept;
-
creating, implementing, or evaluating a new program;
-
drafting a book, podcast, or article; or
-
launching new products and services
“I used the HIF to plan content and marketing for my book. It was so helpful that I decided to get certified! I now use it with my Positive Money clients and they love it!"
