How we work
Present people with a solution and they will challenge it. Enable them to co-design it and it becomes theirs.
Bringing diverse stakeholders together across sectors to share expertise, build trust, and work jointly towards complex social and environmental goals that no single entity can solve alone.
Enabling partners to actively shape solutions through inclusive, immersive sessions that foster shared ownership, alignment, and commitment to lasting systems change.
Creating safe, engaging environments that guide collective dialogue, navigate complexity, and support stakeholders in developing practical, embraced strategies.
Building deep connections and meaningful participation with all relevant parties to ensure inclusive input, trust, and sustained momentum for impactful outcomes.
...thoughtful facilitation and design to break down the complex problems and build trust, so we can find ideas and solutions that really work.
Great solutions come from bringing the right people to the table—people who care, listen, and want to make change happen together. At The Impact Assembly, we make sure everyone’s voice is heard, from the corporate sector, community groups, government, and nonprofits.
Our way of working is all about co-design helping groups create solutions together that everyone owns and supports. We use thoughtful facilitation and design to break down complex problems and build trust, so we can find ideas and solutions that really work.
We focus on the whole picture—balancing practical thinking, empathy, and understanding of how organisations and communities function, so solutions are not only effective but meaningful.
By working in cycles of learning, testing, and improving, we help communities and organisations move faster towards lasting impact.
Visible Impact
TIA drives social and environmental impact by enabling collective efforts - across businesses, communities and sectors - to create systemic change on the issues that matter to PwC. We strive for authentic, demonstrable impact aligned with our purpose and commitment to positive change.
Climate Leaders Coalition
How might we collectively enable a low-emission future, one that has a positive impact on nature?
The Impact Assembly’s (TIA) is now in it’s fifth year of collaboration with the Climate Leaders Coalition (CLC). Our role with CLC is convening, facilitating and supporting momentum in member-led projects, focused on meaningful action to accelerate emissions reduction, balancing nature and carbon.
Current project engagement includes:
- The Demand-side Energy Toolkit for business decision making
- Sustainable agriculture and emissions reduction in a brewing value chain
We continue to support CLC’s cross-sectoral project streams to navigate complexities, identify collective opportunities, and develop actionable plans for a net zero transition in Australia. The focus for 2026 will be on supply chain resilience.
For several years now, the Impact Assembly has brought sharp strategic thinking and deep facilitation expertise to help the Coalition tackle some of the most complex challenges in the climate transition. Their work has enabled the member companies to move from the ambition to shared action, surfacing scalable pathways through collaborative insight and practial experimentation.
We have been delighted to work with the amazing team at the Impact Assembly to design, with the sector, our Digital Futures initiative – exploring what a digitally adaptive and dynamic not-for-profit sector looks and feels like, and how we might take a sector-led approach to achieving the digital transformation required.
Creating impact with Infoxchange
The not-for-profit (NFP) sector is under immense pressure, facing escalating demands for services alongside significant digital challenges. How can we ensure that the services forming the backbone of community wellbeing remain resilient, responsive, and relevant in our rapidly changing world?
Since 2021, TIA has been working with Infoxchange to tackle the growing digital challenges confronting Australia’s Not-for-profit sector to effectively address these issues, a co-designed, sector-led approach to digital transformation was developed.
TIA’s facilitation of this co-design approach united stakeholders around a common purpose and created a clear pathway for collective action. The goal: to ensure the not-for-profit sector remains resilient, responsive, innovative, and digitally capable by 2035. This initiative continues to evolve and make meaningful progress.
