ImpactOS
ImpactOS · built on Strategic Doing

An operating system for impact.

The world isn't short of good people or good ideas. What's missing is a way to connect them, from the first spark to change that lasts. ImpactOS is a suite of connected tools for exploring challenges, organising the work, mobilising people and measuring what really changes.

The big idea

Stop managing problems.
Build what makes them obsolete.

Too much good work is spent keeping problems at a steady level, year after year. Real impact means changing the status quo: finding the opportunity inside a challenge, bringing the right people together, acting fast, and measuring how much of the problem is actually gone.

An operating system doesn't do the work for you. It makes everything you do work together. That is what ImpactOS is for the people who solve problems.

Managing a problem for 100 years→Deleting it, step by step
Measuring activity and spend→Measuring what's no longer a problem
Meetings that end in nothing→Every conversation moves something forward
Good ideas that stay ideas→Concepts with a first project and an owner
People who want to help but don't know how→A community, ready and called when it matters
Tools that don't talk to each other→One account, one memory, one way of working
The tools to get it done

One suite. Each tool built for
one part of making change.

Start with the one you need today. They connect as you grow.

More tools are on the way

Each one built for a part of the journey from problem to impact, and connected to the rest from day one.

How it connects

Different tools. One shared memory.

Like any operating system, ImpactOS has a core that every app builds on. What you learn in one place is there when you need it in another.

Way of workingStrategic DoingCould, should, will, and the 30/30 check-in. The same language in every tool.
CoreShared memoryOne account. Your knowledge, your people and network, your outcomes and projects, and the AI that understands them. Connected to the world's impact knowledge on SOLVED.
1
A concept becomes a planWhen an idea in Concept is ready, it lands on your Strategic Doing board in Synapse as an outcome with a first project and steps.
2
Your meetings feed your thinkingEverything learned in meetings goes into the knowledge base, so Concept and the AI start from what you already know.
3
People found anywhere join your networkPartners found while exploring, people you meet and members who answer a call: one network, one place.
4
A call becomes coordinated actionWhen Direct Response sends a call, the response is organised with the same board, check-ins and follow-up.
5
Small teams can grow into movementsWhen a concept needs many hands, it opens up as an initiative on SOLVED, where anyone can help.
The world's impact knowledge · on SOLVED

Someone, somewhere,
has already solved it.

The solutions, the research, the best practices and the people behind them already exist. They're just scattered across the world, in reports nobody finds and networks that never meet. We're capturing the knowledge of the impact field once and for all, so that what works in one place can be found, and used, everywhere.

Less reinventing. More connecting. Every challenge starts from what the world already knows.

🌍Solutions that already workWhat has been tried, where, and what happened, so you don't start from zero.
🧭Best practice and researchHow a problem is best approached, backed by evidence and data.
👥People and organisationsWho works on what, and who knows the answer you're looking for.
🤝Partnerships waiting to happenConnections between people who should meet but haven't yet.
