Empirica Research & Consulting

Are you ready to prove the difference you make?

Impact, evaluation and evidence made practical.

Whether you are a charity, social enterprise or values-driven business, Empirica helps you understand your impact, build the evidence behind it and communicate your value with confidence.

From impact measurement and evaluation to impact reporting, funding and responsible business, I make complex things practical and achievable.

​

​

Doing good is not enough.

You need to be able to demonstrate it.

​

Whether you are applying for funding, reporting your impact, preparing for B Corp®, strengthening your responsible business practices or simply trying to understand whether your work is making a difference, you need evidence.

​

But impact and evaluation can feel complicated.

​

Empirica helps you turn complex questions into practical approaches that you can actually use. I help you connect what you stand for with what you do, the evidence you collect and the difference you make.

I make difficult things easy.

Complex research, evaluation and impact requirements do not have to feel overwhelming.

​

I help you work out:

​

  • What difference are you trying to make?

  • What evidence do you need?

  • How can you collect it without creating unnecessary work?

  • What is the evidence telling you?

  • How can you communicate it credibly?

The aim is not to make you dependent on a consultant. It is to give you the confidence and tools to understand and evidence your own impact.

"I really enjoyed Ilaria’s social impact training workshop. She explained everything in plain language, which made it easy to follow. The practical activities were especially helpful and helped me think about how to apply the learning in real situations. I also found the resources and guidance she shared genuinely useful and easy to use. Overall, it was a well presented, engaging workshop that gave me practical tools I can use straight away."

Doing business responsibly

Doing good should be something you can demonstrate, not simply something you say.

I believe responsible business means listening, learning and being willing to improve in the way we work with clients, people and partners, and in the impact I have.

Empirica is proud to be accredited by the Good Business Charter, reflecting my commitment to responsible business practices.

For me, being a responsible business is not about saying the right things. It is about being able to demonstrate how we work, listen to feedback, learn from what we find and keep improving. The accreditation covers areas including fair work, employee wellbeing, equality and inclusion, environmental responsibility, ethical sourcing, customer commitment and prompt payment to suppliers.
