What Is Impact Assessment?

Apply impact assessment deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that impact assessment directly affects.

Why Does Impact Assessment Matter?

Impact Assessment matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by impact assessment can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying impact assessment may:

  • uses impact assessment deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by impact assessment
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what impact assessment requires

How to Develop Impact Assessment

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where impact assessment is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles impact assessment and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger impact assessment would have changed the result
