Strategic impact dashboards to improve school governance

Impact Dashboards: Complexity to Clarity

Our Strategic Impact Dashboards are designed to underpin how education organisations (primarily Multi-Academy Trusts and other school groups) understand, track and drive their strategic priorities, enabling you to better understand the progress your schools are making and better equip your Board to scrutinise and challenge effectively. 

Trusted by leaders across the education system:

Transparent decision making

ImpactEd Consulting’s Strategic Impact Dashboards provide education leaders with a clear, visual representation of progress against strategic priorities. Designed for schools, trusts, and other education organisations, our dashboards move beyond compliance-focused reporting to offer actionable insights that drive leadership, governance, and decision-making.

While the dashboard is a valuable output, our consultative expertise and ongoing partnership are central to ensuring its effectiveness. We help organisations define their strategic objectives, establish meaningful KPIs and metrics, and embed a data-driven culture that enhances accountability and impact.

Transform how your board understands and drives strategic priorities

If your board meetings feel like they're drowning in information but starved of insight, if preparing governance papers has become more burden than value, or if you're simply ready to align your reporting more tightly with your strategic ambitions, we'd welcome the opportunity to discuss how Strategic Impact Dashboards might support your work.

Transform your governance reporting

This is fundamentally about enabling more effective governance. When boards and executive teams have clarity about progress, can track trends over time, and can benchmark meaningfully against relevant comparators, the quality of strategic decision-making improves dramatically. Time previously spent deciphering data gets redirected toward the conversations that actually drive improvement.

Board-Ready Reporting

"Curated strategic priorities with RAG ratings, benchmarks and targets.”

Our dashboards provide Board members and executives with a single source of truth for reporting, reducing preparation time and improving the quality of governance discussions.

Drill Down When You Need To

"Interactive functionality lets trustees and executives explore the story behind the numbers - from MAT-wide trends to individual school performance."

Navigate seamlessly from high-level strategic overview to school-specific detail, enabling both board-level oversight and targeted scrutiny.

Strategic Alignment, Not Just Data

"Every metric ties directly to your strategic priorities. We help you define what matters most, not what's easiest to measure."

Through facilitated workshops, we work with your leadership team to identify the KPIs that truly reflect your strategic ambitions. Our consultative approach ensures the dashboard reflects your unique context and priorities, not a one-size-fits-all template.

Accountability at Every Level

"Built-in approval processes and comment prompts ensure every data point has an owner and a story. Transparent, responsible reporting."

No data enters the dashboard without explicit approval from your senior leadership team, creating clear lines of accountability.

Ongoing Partnership, Not Just Software

"Strategic advisory support, continuous refinement and evolution as your priorities change."

Annual subscription includes hosting, maintenance, updates and light-touch advisory support to ensure your dashboard evolves with your strategy.
