Social Impact Advisory

Delivering programs where people matter.       

Reaching more people at risk by turning strategy into impact. .  

Who we are 

We go beyond strategy. We deliver.  

Umagine started because too many programs fail the vulnerable people they are meant to support.

We work with you to deliver successful programs that change lives – from start-up to handover. 

Our purpose is not profit – we are committed to reinvesting surplus into research, innovation, and delivery of solutions to complex social challenges.

We have deep expertise in the lifecycle of complex social change programs, from concept to delivery. 

People are at the centre of our work.   

  • Children, young people, and families
  • Young people at risk
  • People with disability
  • People experiencing homelessness
  • First Nations people and communities
  • People navigating mental illness
  • Survivors of domestic and family violence

Umagine has a successful track record in delivering social change programs at scale in complex environments. 

ABOUT US ABOUT US

Social impact

So, what is ‘social impact’? 

Put simply, social impact can be any significant and lasting change to people’s lives as a result of decisions and actions by organisations, government, businesses, or individuals.

Why does program delivery matter? 

Real-world change for vulnerable people is not straightforward. It comes with complexity at the individual level, at the systemic level, and across social structures. Co-design and strategy live at the beginning of this work, not the end. 

Umagine partners with organisations across the full program cycle: from understanding the problem, to designing the response, to delivering at scale. Yes, we bring deep insight, but the main game is to effect real social change. We specialise in the successful implementation of social change programs. And by doing so, we aim to positively impact the lives of vulnerable people.

“Michael has made a significant contribution within the most politically contentious element of the program. I have appreciated his ability to process significant quantities of work in a no-fail environment, his adaptability, and his capacity to see the strategic picture while operationalising the need and delivering on outcomes. He is a natural collaborator and an inclusive leader, and I would fight to have Michael involved in any Program team I led.”
