What sets us apart

Behind every idea for change lies a quiet challenge: aligning people. Teams, clients, beneficiaries, and many more—all moving parts with different perspectives. Making impact real requires bringing them together early, clearly, and intentionally.

Why us

At Tractuum, we've faced this challenge in boardrooms, policy discussions, funding rounds, and team meetings. We have years of experience working with organisations in the development, monitoring, and evaluation of their strategic impact delivery plans—a process we refer to as 'impact management'.

We are Australia's leading experts in impact management and have supported government departments shaping policy, not-for-profits proving value, and innovators in articulating and co-producing outcomes. Our extensive experience means we know where to start, who to talk to, and how to extract the relevant information and sort it into workable and achievable plans.

That's why organisations come to us—not just to tick a box, but to get it right. Because when it comes to impact, the real work isn't just measuring change. It's about creating an environment and taking actions that embrace a common purpose, build trust, and a commitment to showing what we do together matters.

Why choose Tractuum? Because extraordinary outcomes require more than good intentions; they demand clarity, experience, and relentless dedication. With Tractuum, your impact is not just plausible—it's proven.

Our Impact in action

Start-up Impact
Start-up Impact
Helped start-ups such as v2food and Endua design impact plans, run early-stage reviews, and track progress — building investor confidence and enabling growth. We apply the same impact planning and tracking expertise to start-ups across diverse sectors.
ON Accelerator Support
ON Accelerator Support
Reviewed and evaluated Australia's leading innovation accelerator, ran surveys, and provided impact support to participants — improving tracking, accountability, and outcomes. Our contribution has assisted this Program to continue to deliver improvements to research translation, proving that embedding learnings from evaluations benefits all.
Portfolio-Level Assessments
Portfolio-Level Assessments
Assessed CSIRO Aquaculture portfolios, identifying ways to maximise returns and resilience. Our portfolio-level assessments span multiple sectors, measuring impact at scale beyond individual projects.
Not-for-Profit Support
Not-for-Profit Support
Supported SGND's Safely Engaging with Water program by embedding monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems — enabling adaptation, improvement, and long-term community benefits. We partner with many not-for-profits to strengthen program impact.
Global Impact Leadership
Global Impact Leadership
We hosted an International Forum on Impact Management, with 32 Impact Professionals, at Cambridge University, UK, as well as co-delivered a 3-day impact course for 50+ senior executives worldwide (University of Calgary), building skills to plan, measure, and grow organisational impact. We design and deliver capability programs tailored to different audiences.
Standards & Guide Development
Standards & Guide Development
Co-authored CSIRO's Impact Evaluation Guide and led the qualitative assessment addendum — setting national best practice in impact measurement. We also develop other frameworks to guide evaluation excellence.
Value of CSIRO 2024
Value of CSIRO 2024
Co-author of this strategic report, which found an 8.8:1 return on investment for CSIRO, as well as defined the organisation's impact maturity— evidencing national value and guiding future strategy. We deliver similar high-priority valuation and strategy projects across sectors.
Impact Maturity Model
Impact Maturity Model
Introduced and developed the Impact Maturity Model to strengthen upstream systems and optimise downstream impact. We adapt and apply this framework to improve performance in varied contexts.
Impact Management
Impact Management
Impact Consultants for SEA-MES, a CSIRO-led, multi-year marine ecosystem survey revisiting Australia's southeast continental shelf and slope—recognized as one of 19 success stories in the UN Ocean Decade's An Ocean of Life report, launched at COP16.
Barrier to Impact Analysis
Barrier to Impact Analysis
Analysed over 50 projects with different teams such as BD, R&D, and commercialisation leaders to uncover barriers to research impact — informing systemic change for faster translation. We conduct similar analyses to improve impact pathways.
Infrastructure Evaluations
Infrastructure Evaluations
Involved in major research infrastructure impact planning and assessments, from FloWorks to APSIM, recommending improved long-term tracking and reporting. We assess physical and digital infrastructure portfolios across industries.
Policy Evaluations
Policy Evaluations
Assessed the impact of CSIRO's 2017 and 2023 Country Reports, which helped maintain multi-billion-dollar access for Australian canola in EU biodiesel markets.
